Alongside our strong dedication to training students for successful academic, medical and industrial careers, you'll also find that we are committed to furthering research. This full-time program provides everything you need to become a well-rounded researcher, including: laboratory work, guided seminar presentations, and discussion groups.
Our department's collective research strengths include molecular evolution, cell signalling, gene expression and protein chemistry. And since we can't enrol you in the program without a stipend, there is also ample opportunity for scholarship support through the department, set at a minimum amount of $21,500 as of September 2015. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
The Department accepts applicants with honours degrees (or the equivalent) in biochemistry and molecular biology and also those with research-based training in related fields such as biology, chemistry and biomedical sciences. Advanced knowledge within a student's chosen area of biochemistry and molecular biology is developed by formal courses and/or guided study arranged for each student through consultation with a supervisory committee. |

| Application Notes : | English is the language of study at Dalhousie; therefore all applicants whose first language is not English must demonstrate their capacity to pursue a graduate-level program in English before admission. Dalhousie accepts a number of different English proficiency test scores: Internet-based TOEFL- 100; Written TOEFL - 600; or IELTS – 7.5. Alternatively, a prospective student may enroll in the ESL program with the Dalhousie College of Continuing Education and obtain a grade of at least A on the final stage of that training. The language competency test may be waived if the applicant has completed a degree at a recognized university where the language of instruction is English. The claims must be verified by the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Test scores are valid for two years from the date the test was written. |
| Additional Admission Requirements: | Applicants are required to submit two academic reference letters, either through the electronic reference system in the online application or by paper. Please visit the website for complete details. |
