PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology in Canada at U of G Canada

These are the international student eligibility for the PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology in Canada

There are three pathways for admission to the PhD program:

1. Students who have achieved an “A-minus” (80%) average or higher during the last two years of full-time study while completing a four-year honours BSc program (or its equivalent) and who provide evidence of research aptitude and potential based on laboratory research experience may apply to enter the PhD program directly, or
2. An MSc student may apply to transfer to the PhD program before completing the MSc degree. To be eligible for transfer, the student must have completed a high-quality undergraduate degree with a grade average of B+ or higher. Before applying for transfer to the PhD program students must complete MCB*6500 (MSc Research Topics in Molecular and Cellular Biology) plus an additional course with at least 0.5 graduate course credit, attaining an overall A minus average (at least 80%). Applications for transfer must be approved by the end of the fourth semester in the MSc program.
3. Applicants may have completed a recognized Masters degree in a relevant discipline with a minimum academic standing of “A-minus” (80%).

Applicants must obtain the support of a faculty member willing to serve as their thesis advisor. We strongly recommend that potential graduate students contact faculty members who share their research interests BEFORE completing and submitting an official application form. Moreover, you need to submit:

• Transcripts
• Recommendation Letter
• Letter of Intent (Statement of Purpose)
• CV/Resume

N.B: Most universities have specific international admission requirements based on different education systems.
