APPROX. LENGTH:

24 months, based on full-time study

What I like best about my program: I like the structure of the courses at the graduate-level as students are encouraged to participate in design projects in direct connection with the industry. I also like how personal it is as the classroom sizes are quite small and we get plenty of opportunities to ask questions and participate in group discussions. The instructors and support staff get to know students so quickly and are always so helpful and friendly. It makes me feel at home when I come to school.

STUDENT PROFILE Sonja Stadler Graduate program of study: Master of Science in Applied Bioscience Why I chose UOIT: UOIT is the only university in Canada that provides a graduate program with a focus in forensic science. In addition, the growing research faculty and facilities provide an excellent opportunity to conduct relevant and exciting research. The fact that UOIT is a small university with an interdisciplinary science department was an added bonus. I felt that these features would create a close-knit community for me to become a part of. What I like best about my program: The Applied Bioscience program incorporates both course work and completion of a thesis. By combining these aspects I feel like I can get the most out of my Master’s degree. Through the course work I learned about ongoing research in other fields and developed skills for a career in academia, which provided a strong foundation for my research. The thesis portion will allow me to conduct research in an area that genuinely interests me. I will develop and conduct my own research project, learning the ins and outs of research along the way.
