Overview
Program Description
The Immunology MSc program at the University of Toronto is offered in two fields:
The non-thesis Applied Immunology field provides advanced training in designing, implementing, and evaluating immunological techniques that measure immune responses.
The thesis-based Fundamental Immunology field provides advanced training in an area of specialization, with a particular emphasis on the acquisition of experience in the strategies and experimental methods of modern, original, scientific research.
Students in the Applied Immunology field (including the advanced-standing option) are not eligible to participate in collaborative specializations.
