Master of Science in Biology

About this programme

Memorial University’s Department of Biology is home to over 100 graduate students along with 25 full-time faculty members and numerous cross-appointment faculty from other academic departments. Approximately 20 researchers from outside Memorial University, many employed in government laboratories (agriculture, fisheries, forestry, and wildlife), hold adjunct appointments with the Department and contribute to the graduate program as co-supervisors and supervisory committee members. Biology is also part of the interdisciplinary Cognitive and Behavioural Ecology (CABE) program and Environmental Science (ENVS) program , both of which offer M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees. Interested students should apply directly to the CABE program or ENVS program . Graduate applicants interested in research-based programs are strongly encouraged to connect with a faculty supervisor at the time of application. Visit the Department of Biology website for a list of faculty members, their research interests, and contact information. You may also use the Yaffle search application to find a supervisor you may wish to work with. The School of Graduate Studies offers advice on how to search for and contact potential supervisors .
