Graduate studies

Students looking at trees — UVic facilities include a herbarium, greenhouses, an aquatic facility, an electronic microscope and a confocal microscope. In addition, individual labs are fully equipped for a variety of molecular, physiological and environmental research.

Students who conduct research at the MSc or PhD level through our centre are supervised by centre faculty and have the opportunity to conduct some or all of their research with collaborating government and industry partners. Prospective graduate students must first gain admission to and register with a cooperating department at UVic. Traditionally, prospective students have been required to apply for admission to the Department of Biology.

In all cases, the responsibility rests with prospective students to contact centre faculty members who share their research interests and to discuss with potential supervisors the course of study that will best meet their career goals.
