Master of Science [M.S] [Biochemistry] From McMaster University

The biochemistry graduate program is designed with the student in mind to maximize accomplishments in research and prepare for a rich and fulfilling career.

Students can choose a supervisor from more than 50 investigators at the McMaster campus or in area hospitals, and our facilities are second to none. Most importantly, we have tailored our programs to maximize student success.

The most important goals of a student in the Biochemistry Graduate Program are to learn how to formulate, carry out and interpret meaningful experiments that address important questions, to learn how to communicate results to the public and other scientists, and to publish those results in relevant journals.

Our M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs reflect these goals. At all stages, we try to maximize the time students have to focus on their thesis research.

Course work is restricted to the M.Sc. level and is designed to introduce cutting-edge ideas and technology. We monitor student progress carefully to ensure the successful and timely completion of rewarding degrees. We feel that the Biochemistry Graduate Program offers an atmosphere that is scientifically stimulating and enriching.
