The Pathobiology Department's research spans multiple disciplines, including animal pathogens and their host interactions, emerging zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, immunological and genetic factors in disease resistance, cancer mechanisms, and inflammatory conditions. Our studies encompass farm animals, laboratory specimens, aquatic life, wildlife, zoo species, and pets, examining everything from molecular processes to population dynamics. We provide research-intensive MSc (2-year) and PhD (4-year) programs for both veterinary and non-veterinary students across all departmental specialties. For DVM holders, we offer specialized veterinary training through 3-year DVSc and 1-year Graduate Diploma programs.

Qualification Requirements
The usual requirement for admission to the PhD program is the completion of an approved MSc degree with a minimum 'B+' average and strongly supportive letters from referees familiar with the background of the applicant. Performance in relevant biomedical science courses, (e.g. microbiology, immunology, biochemistry, molecular biology, etc) at a level above the 'B+' average is normally expected. Students may apply for admission into the PhD program before completing the MSc program, providing that they have a minimum 'A' average and a demonstrated capacity for independent research. Some students with demonstrated potential for independent research and a superior academic record during their baccalaureate or DVM programs may be admitted directly into the PhD program.
