MA/MS in Environmental Sciences

The Master of Environmental Sciences is a course-based graduate programme at the University of Guelph focused on environmental science, environmental policy, and sustainability, with particular attention to air, land, and water systems. The programme is delivered by faculty from the School of Environmental Sciences and combines coursework with field- and laboratory-based instruction; students may also complete an optional research project. Full-time students typically complete the programme within 24 months, while part-time study extends over 48 months. Admission requires an honours four-year undergraduate degree in a science-related field, though applicants from unrelated fields may be considered if they have taken relevant coursework or gained related work experience. Applications require two referee assessments and a statement of interest describing the applicant's career goals. The programme admits students for the Fall term only, with separate application deadlines for domestic and international applicants.
