About the course

Partial fulfilment of the graduate program is subsequently dependent upon satisfactory completion of graduate courses arranged by the student's supervisory committee. These courses are intended to facilitate the student's progress in the program. The minimum number of courses generally required is one didactic course for both MSc and PhD degrees, and one additional reading course for the degree of PhD. Most or all graduate courses should be completed within the first two years of entering the graduate program. Emphasis has been on producing research of good, publishable quality, rather than extensive course requirements.Courses in other related areas, such as anatomy, biochemistry, pharmacology, statistics and histology, are desirable but not required. Students who lack background in several of the areas listed above may be admitted as qualifying graduate students and only transferred to a regular program after completion of these courses. Funding for such students is not available from University sources and some external agencies.Additional courses as part of the graduate program will be decided by the student's supervisory committee in consultation with the graduate student, and will be monitored by the graduate studies coordinator.
