| Description | The M.Sc. thesis is not required to display original scientific work. The thesis will be judged on its demonstration of "technical mastery" and upon presentation of results in an organized, clear and literate style. Theses are graded as "Pass" or "Fail" by the supervisor, one internal (departmental) examiner and one external (outside of the Department of Human Genetics) examiner. Typically, a M.Sc. thesis requires 2-3 years for completion and results in a publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
In addition to the research requirement, the department requires that M.Sc. students' complete 9 credits of course work(3 one-term semester courses). The courses will be chosen by the student and supervisor to conform to the needs of thestudent's research project as well as to the student's previous training. Courses eligible for the M.Sc. requirement must carry a "500" number or higher. For graduate students a "pass" mark in required courses is 65% and students are required to have a "B" average in all required courses.
