Graduate Studies in Chemistry
Welcome to Graduate Studies in the Department of Chemistry!
The University of Guelph is a partner in the Guelph-Waterloo Centre (GWC²) for Graduate Work in Chemistry and Biochemistry. This collaboration allows chemistry graduate students enrolled at the University of Guelph to attend graduate courses at both the University of Guelph and the University of Waterloo. Enjoy the personal experience of the University of Guelph while selecting from the expanded pool of graduate courses from both Universities.
Thesis-Based Program & Collaborative Specialization
Chemistry (M.Sc. or Ph.D.)
GWC² offers programs leading to the MSc and PhD degrees. The MSc and PhD degrees can be pursued through a part-time, regular or co-operative thesis option. Exceptional students may apply to a PhD Thesis degree directly from a BSc or by directly transferring from the MSc program. For requirements, see the Chemistry Course Calendar.
Toxicology (M.Sc. or Ph.D.)
Toxicology is a collaborative specialization. A collaborative specialization is an intra-university graduate field of study that provides an additional multidisciplinary experience for students enrolled in and completing the degree requirements for one of a number of approved Master's or Doctoral programs. For requirements, see the Toxicology Course Calendar.
GWC²
The Guelph-Waterloo Centre for Graduate Work in Chemistry and Biochemistry, GWC² , is one of Canada’s largest and most successful graduate schools. The Centre is housed in the Chemistry Departments at the University of Guelph and Waterloo, two of Canada’s leading Universities. A diverse team of world-class faculty from both Departments provide research opportunities in a myriad of chemical research areas.
Course-Based Program
Master of Toxicology (MTOX)
Chemistry Course-Based Masters Program
The Guelph-Waterloo Centre full time course-based MSc option is designed for students who wish to complete the degree requirement over a one-year period. Students will complete a variety of course work as well as one full-time semester in the laboratory of a Centre faculty member. A part-time option is also available.
