The Institute of Medical Science and other University departments furnishes an opportunity for residents or fellows to work towards an M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree in the Life Sciences Division of the School of Graduate Studies, University of Toronto. For acceptance into a degree programme, candidates must have at least a B+ standing or its equivalent both cumulatively and in the final year of undergraduate study. If they have the M.D. degree they should have obtained standing in the upper one-half of their medical class. To qualify for an M.Sc. degree candidates must complete two courses, attend student seminars and submit a satisfactory thesis embodying the results of their research. In addition, they must pass an oral examination based on this research. Ordinarily this program would require two years. Candidates who wish to work instead toward the Ph.D. degree may request a transfer after the first year of study. In this case two further years of full-time residency in the School would be required as well as additional course work.

The final date for applications is April 1^st for the Fall session. Enquiries should be made directly to the Coordinator of Graduate Studies in the Institute of Medical Science.
