The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Bioscience and Policy is a research-intensive degree that provides advanced training in the life sciences while also training students to place life sciences research into the broader context of a modern society.
This program provides students with theoretical background and technical skill in their field of biology, while also helping them understand implication of bioscience research for policy development and build skills to communicate about their research to a range of audiences. Our students are trained in science and ethics, science and public policy and science in the context of national and international issues.
Students in the program spend the bulk of their time working with a faculty supervisor on a PhD thesis project designed to make a novel scientific contribution in a range of fields such as genetics and genomics, bioinformatics, cell biology, physiology, behavioural ecology, and natural resource management.
In addition to the thesis, students complete a two-part candidacy exam based on their research area during their first two years, and at least 12 credit hours of courses which provide additional training in policy application/development, communication to scientists and non-scientists, and technical skills in bioscience. All students receive training in science communication and participate in at least two science outreach events prior to completion.
Expected time to graduate is 4 years with a maximum of 7 years.
