The MBS is a one-year graduate program focused on coursework, featuring a significant research component. Students conduct this research under the guidance of a Faculty Advisor. Created as an alternative to the MSc program, the MBS offers graduate-level education in a condensed timeframe and doesn't require a comprehensive written thesis. Many MBS applicants are either exploring their interest in thesis-based graduate studies or seeking to enhance their academic credentials for professional programs. Those who develop or confirm a passion for research may have the option to transition into the MSc program before their third term, allowing them to pursue a thesis-based master's degree.
Neuroscience research within the department encompasses diverse areas, including studying pattern formation in typical brain development, uncovering new synaptic plasticity mechanisms, analyzing gene expression and signaling pathways in aging and Alzheimer's Disease, investigating disease-related ion channel mutations, and examining how sex hormones influence brain function.

Qualification Requirements
Applicants should have an Honours baccalaureate degree in the Biological Sciences or a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree (or the equivalent) with a minimum 'B+' standing in the final two years of study. Letters of reference from two individuals who can adequately evaluate the academic and research capabilities of the applicant must be provided with the application. In addition, a short statement of the applicant's area of interest and career goals is required to assist in the selection of faculty advisors. Students may be admitted into the Fall, Winter, or Summer semester. Provisional acceptance may be granted to students who do not meet this 'B+' standard if there is additional evidence that the applicant is capable of successfully completing the graduate program (e.g., outstanding letters of recommendation, or evidence of prior relevant work or research experience). Transfer to regular status will normally be recommended when the student obtains a minimum grade of ‘A-’ in their first two graduate course and displays current research ability to their advisory committee. These courses will be credited to the degree program.
