The Biology Department provides two distinct Master's Degree pathways. Plan A (thesis track) focuses on original research culminating in a thesis, designed for those aiming for advanced degrees or research-oriented careers.

perform thorough research that advances scientific knowledge, develop well-structured written reports of their findings, finish the program within an appropriate timeframe, participate in and deliver talks at academic conferences,
write and submit articles for publication, draft and submit funding applications, guide undergraduate students.
