Program details

Overview

The Master of Science (MSc) in Medical Sciences at Western University is a one-year, course-based program that begins in May and runs over three terms. It builds on a discipline-specific undergraduate science, biomedical, or health sciences degree, adding an advanced skill set aimed at strengthening research literacy. Content is delivered through sequential, intensive interdisciplinary learning blocks combining lectures, case studies, and real-world applications relevant to current topics in medical science research. Students also complete three experiential rotations aligned with their chosen field, typically a clinical rotation, a basic science research rotation, and a community-engaged learning rotation. The program is intended for graduates seeking applied research training rather than a thesis-based research degree, and requires online application with transcripts and a professional resume.
