Program information

The master's program is intended for those having a strong interest in otolaryngology research (e.g., Otolaryngologists, physicians, dentists, therapists, veterinarians, medical professionals, engineering or science undergraduates, and others). 听The program addresses research questions using an interdisciplinary approach, combining methodologies of both the clinical sciences and the basic sciences. The master's program is unique in Canada and rare elsewhere. Graduates of the program can better treat ear-nose-throat diseases; they are better positioned to do, and to evaluate, research in Otolaryngology. They typically obtain the most highly sought positions in their fields.听

麻豆AV requires a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 3.0 out of a possible 4.0 or a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.2 out of 4.0 in the last two years of full-time studies. If your university does not use a 4.0 scale, please consult GPS's International Degree Equivalency fact sheets.

Applicants (including Permanent Residents of Canada) whose mother tongue is not English and who have not completed an undergraduate or graduate degree from a recognized institution where English is the language of instruction or from a recognized Canadian institution (anglophone or francophone), are required to submit documented proof of competency in oral and written English by taking the (Test of English as a Foreign Language)examination. Applicants must receive at least a minimum score of 86 overall (no less than 20 in each of the four component scores) on the internet based test, or a minimum score of 567 on the paper based version of the TOEFL test. Applicants must ensure that official test results are sent to directly to 麻豆AV (Institution Code: 0935) by the testing service.[TOEFL results are only valid for two years from the date the test was written].

Admission to the MSc program requires acceptance by a research supervisor. Prospective students should contact research supervisors individually.听 Please consult our Department's Research page for possible supervisors. The proposed program must be approved by the Departmental Research Committee.

Financial Support

Graduate students can finance their education from several sources including Canadian federal and provincial governments.听 In order to maximum chances of obtaining such funding, applicants should contact the department during the summer proceeding the admission application deadline.听听听
