Please note that the Applied Immunology field is unable to accept international students at this time. Applicants educated outside Canada are required to provide Graduate Record Examination (GRE) (general) scores with their application.īefore starting the program, applicants may be required to complete SCS 3128 (at the discretion of the Department of Immunology). See General Regulations section 4.3 for requirements. Applicants lacking adequate training in immunology or biological or natural sciences may be advised to do extra coursework necessary for their research.Īpplicants whose primary language is not English and who graduated from a university where the language of instruction and examination was not English must demonstrate proficiency in English. Applicants must also satisfy the Department of Immunology's additional admission requirements stated below.Īn appropriate BSc, or its equivalent, normally with at least a B+ average and a strong background in molecular and cellular biology. Students in the Applied Immunology field (including the advanced-standing option) are not eligible to participate in collaborative specializations.įield: Applied Immunology Minimum Admission RequirementsĪpplicants are admitted under the General Regulations of the School of Graduate Studies. The thesis-based Fundamental Immunology field provides advanced training in an area of specialization, with a particular emphasis on the acquisition of experience in the strategies and experimental methods of modern, original, scientific research. The non-thesis Applied Immunology field provides advanced training in designing, implementing, and evaluating immunological techniques that measure immune responses. The MSc program is offered in two fields: Is a supervisor assigned by the graduate unit or secured by the applicant? If a supervisor is identified after admission (as per question above), is admission conditional upon securing a supervisor? Is a supervisor identified before or after admission? International students are encouraged to apply to PhD in Fundamental Immunology graduate program.Ī- average in the final two years of study (for direct entry PhD)ĭirect entry option from bachelor's to PhD? Please note: the Department of Immunology will not be able to consider international applicants for the MSc in Applied Immunology at this time. Students may also be interested in the combined degree program in Medicine, Doctor of / Doctor of Philosophy (MD/PhD). Performed in a host laboratory, the Major Research Project will comprise research that designs and validates a novel technical approach that will be summarized in a proposal document, a report document, and an oral presentation. To qualify for the degree, each student must complete specified coursework and a Major Research Project. The purpose of the MSc in the field of Applied Immunology is to provide advanced training in designing, implementing, and evaluating immunological techniques that measure immune responses. Sinai Hospital, Toronto General Hospital, Toronto Western Hospital, The Hospital for Sick Children, and Sunnybrook Hospital. Members and students in the department are located at the Medical Sciences Building, at the Ontario Cancer Institute, and at the Research Institutes of Mt. The department provides a common forum for investigators in many areas of U of T and an interdisciplinary research experience in immunology. These disciplines include molecular mechanisms of lymphocyte development and selection, T-cell and B-cell receptors, cell interactions, growth factor receptors, cytokine networks, antigen processing and presentation, signal transduction in lymphocytes, V(D)J recombination, anergy, apoptosis, transgenic and knock-out models, immuno-targeting and vaccine design, autoimmunity, AIDS, diabetes, and transplantation.
The Department of Immunology offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in a wide range of immunological disciplines.
