Graduate Programs

Masters (M.Sc.) and Doctoral (Ph.D.) programs are offered in inorganic, organic, bio-organic, physical, theoretical and computational chemistry. These programs emphasize research leading to a thesis although they do include some course work. The research is carried out in well-equipped laboratories backed up by excellent staff. The M.Sc. degree usually takes two to three years and the Ph.D. three to five years of full time study.

Candidates should possess a bachelor's degree in Chemistry or Biochemistry with a first or upper second division standing (minimum 'B' average) from UNB or its equivalent from another recognized university. An applicant may be admitted to a Qualifying Period when an assessment of the transcript indicates that the background preparation is inadequate for the proposed course of study, but where the standard of academic performance matches that required for admission to the School of Graduate Studies.
