The MSc degree in the Department of Animal Biosciences [1] focuses on animals of significance in food production, with four main areas of research:
- Animal Breeding and Genetics (quantitative or molecular)
- Animal Nutrition (monogastric or ruminant)
- Animal Physiology (environmental and reproductive)
- Animal Behaviour and Welfare
The program is designed to give students the skills and knowledge to assume leadership roles within the animal industry or prepare for doctoral studies. More details on this program are available through the department's website. [2]
Potential Faculty Advisors [3]
Two ways to complete your degree:
- MSc by coursework and major paper. This option is a one-year program for advanced training in specialized aspects of the animal sciences.
- MSc by thesis. This option is a two-year program designed for students interested in advanced research and potentially heading for an academic path.
