M.Sc. Program

Usually a B.Sc., M.D., or D.V.M. degree is required, with a minimum CGPA of 3.2/4.0. Applications will be accepted from candidates sponsored by a research supervisor willing to provide laboratory space and direction for their research work.

Ph.D. Program

Admission is usually from the M.Sc. program either upon completion of the M.Sc. degree, or by transfer from the first year of M.Sc. to the second year of Ph.D. studies. Request for such transfer is to be made in writing by the thesis supervisor during the candidate's first year of M.Sc. studies, not later than March 30 for students enrolled in September, or October 15 for those registered in January. The student must then apply for admission to the Ph.D. program in order to effect the transfer. Transfer is granted on the basis of an examination administered by the student's Research Supervisory Committee. Exceptional students with a minimum 3.5/4.0 CGPA may apply directly to the Ph.D. program. Students must apply for admission to transfer to the Ph.D. by the date for guaranteed consideration.

Students with an M.Sc. degree from other departments or from other recognized universities whose M.Sc. topic is closely related to the subject of their Ph.D. research may be admitted directly into the Ph.D. program, at the level of Ph.D. 2, at the discretion of the Department. Exceptional students with a master's degree unrelated to their proposed research may be admitted to Ph.D. 1.

Graduate Diploma in Surgical Health Care Research

The program is open to all graduate students in the Division of Surgical Research, but is specifically designed for surgical residents who have allotted time during their residency training. To be accepted into the Graduate Diploma program, students must be accepted into the Division of Surgical Research; fulfil the minimum requirements for admission to Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies; identify an acceptable and feasible research project; and identify an accredited faculty member willing to support the research and supervise the student.

Applicants must apply online to Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies at www.mcgill.ca/gradapplicants/apply. Furthermore, they are to submit the required supporting documents including a brief curriculum vitae and a short description of the proposed thesis research (prepared by the student and/or the prospective research director). A letter of intent and a memorandum of agreement are also required from the prospective supervisor. Two copies of all academic transcripts and two letters of recommendation must be mailed directly to the Department. When applicable, official proof of English language proficiency (e.g., TOEFL scores) must be submitted.
