While less comprehensive than a Ph.D., students complete a meaningful and original research project, which culminates in writing and defending a thesis. The programme offered by ?is designed for motivated students who have the ability to develop critical thinking skills and conduct research in one of the three primary areas of study in our department: cardiovascular physiology, reproductive physiology, and neurobiology.
