| The objective of the Pharmacology M.Sc. degree is to have students think critically about scientific issues and to develop a knowledge-base in pharmacology. Graduates must be able to formulate hypotheses in a specific area of pharmacological research and test them through active research. During training of M.Sc. students, emphasis is placed on obtaining a knowledge of pharmacology and its principles, as well as being experienced in selected experimental techniques commonly used in pharmacology. The Department sees a primary responsibility in training career pharmacologists and does not encourage training at the Master's level that is not intended to lead to a scientific career. |

Canadian applicants to the Pharmacology M.Sc. program must have completed (or be in the final year of completing) an appropriate four-year bachelor's degree, or its equivalent. Applicants are normally required to have taken courses in physiology, biochemistry, or allied sciences sufficient to form a foundation for their work in pharmacology. Eligible applicants must achieve a minimum Annual Grade Point Average (AGPA) of B+ or 77%-79% based on a full course-load in the final year of study. We expect that the final year will include a minimum of four senior-level Full Course Equivalents (FCE's). (300-level and 400-level courses are considered to be senior-level courses).
