Master of Science in Canada at uLeth Canada

Program Overview for Master of Science in Canada:

The Master of Science program provides students in a wide range of disciplines with the opportunity to earn a master's degree by writing a dissertation and completing a limited number of courses. Writing an essay in any discipline requires several skills essential to the general education tradition, including the analysis and synthesis of ideas, empirical investigations, the construction and expression of arguments, and writing skills.

The MSc program prepares Students for Ph.D. Courses in related disciplines, as well as transferable professional skills for a wide range of professional development. Students must secure a potential supervisor before applying to this program. For more information, visit our executive search page. 

The thesis is the basic requirement of the project. It involves close collaboration between the tutor and the student, so they must research with the tutor on campus. Our master's program is only taught on the Lethbridge campus. 

Both full-time and part-time registration is available. Full-time students complete 24 months of courses, while part-time students complete 48 months of courses. Please refer to individual majors for more information, including admissions and course components.

• your record and letters of recommendation
• your proposed supervisor’s record of scholarship, completed and current, especially in relation to your proposed work
• the feasibility of your project in the light of available resources
• your financial support

If the program committee feels that you are eligible for admission, but are lacking in necessary preparation, you may be admitted subject to relevant conditions. In these cases, candidates may be given one of two options:

• The required preparation may be undertaken prior to admission, with the permission of the program committee
• It may be taken after admission and within the maximum time limit of 24 months for full-time students and 48 months for part-time students

In either case, the program committee establishes a definite date by which all conditions must be fully satisfied.

These are the test eligibilities for the Master of Science to qualify.
