The MBS is a one-year graduate program focused on coursework, culminating in a significant research project guided by a Faculty Advisor. Created as a shorter alternative to the MSc program, the MBS doesn't require a comprehensive written thesis. Many students choose this path when they're uncertain about pursuing a thesis-based degree or when seeking to enhance their qualifications for professional programs. Those who discover a passion for academic research during their MBS studies can transition into the MSc program before their third semester to pursue a thesis-based degree.
Research topics in this field encompass cellular and molecular processes in steroidogenesis, typical and atypical embryonic development, diverse aspects of reproductive biology (including endocrinology) across domestic, laboratory, and exotic species, as well as advancements in reproductive biotechnologies like cloning, in vitro fertilization, embryo micromanipulation, gamete and embryo cryopreservation, and animal sex determination.

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.
