Western’s Graduate Program in Microbiology and Immunology offers research-intensive, thesis-based graduate training at the Master's level. We possess world class facilities and a motivating training environment, with high profile research programs overseen by internationally distinguished faculty members. The Graduate Program of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology revolves around two major fields of scientific endeavour: i) The molecular and cellular biology of microorganisms, and ii) The molecular and cellular biology of the immune system. These fields involve studies on bacteria, virus, parasites, cancer cells, and immune cells with an emphasis on molecular biology, biochemistry, and pathogenesis. Students can take the one-year program or the two-year program. The two-year program is intended for students who are interested in a research career or who are interested in acquiring research skills.Program Length3 Terms (Project-based)6 Terms (Thesis-based)
