Graduate Studies

The Department of Biology at Concordia University is a vibrant research community comprising over 25 research teams focused on addressing a broad range of biological questions. We offer programs leading to Master of/Magesteriate in Science and PhD degrees in Biology as well as a Graduate Diploma in Biotechnology & Genomics. Our graduate students are an integral and important component of our department who carry out research in a variety of sub-disciplines in biology including:

Graduate degree programs in biology are tailored individually to fit student's specific interests and backgrounds, and emphasize thesis-related research and development of core-scientific skills including laboratory/field training, data analysis and effective scientific communication. We welcome inquiries from students with suitable academic qualifications who are interested in pursuing a research-based MSc or PhD or a course-based Graduate Diploma in Biotechnology & Genomics.

Research Collaborations

As Montreal is a major centre for academic research, with four universities and several other research institutions, Concordia graduate students are well-positioned to have the opportunity to work on multidisciplinary collaborative research projects involving students and faculty at these other institutions. There are also a number of cross-affiliated Concordia faculty from the Geography, Planning and Environment, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Psychology and Exercise Science departments who supervise graduate students in biology.
