Interested in doing an MSc or PhD in the Biology Department? Your best bet is to contact a professor who you think might be a suitable supervisor for the sort of research that interests you. Applications made through the School of Graduate Studies, without first contacting a potential supervisor, are rarely successful.

When reaching out to a prospective supervisor, make sure your email stands out. Research the supervisor and learn about all aspects of their research and read a few of their recent publications. Our Faculty receive numerous emails from prospective students each week so it's important to catch their attention and let them know how interested you are in joining their research.
