Microbiology and Immunology

Applicants must hold a B.Sc. degree (or equivalent) from a recognized institution and are expected to have attained a high academic standing equivalent to or better than the CGPA of 3.2 at McGill University.

Applicants should have a solid educational background in the areas of physical and biological sciences. This background need not include a heavy concentration in microbiology and immunology, as appropriate courses may be taken in this Department during graduate residence. Although it is convenient to have applicants trained in microbiology prior to their arrival, it is recognized that students educated in other institutional programs with widely differing contents may add strength to our own graduate program.

• Two letters of reference: On the online application form you must provide the names and email addresses of at least two professors who are familiar with your academic work. McGill will contact these referees and invite them to upload references on your behalf. Letters must be from academic or other professional employers who can evaluate your potential for graduate study and/or speak knowledgeably about your accomplishments.
• Transcripts: Your complete transcripts from each university attended to date. Uploaded copies will be considered as unofficial; final, official copies will be required once you are offered admission. Transcripts in languages other than English or French must be accompanied by English or French translation provided by the institution issuing the transcript or by a certified translator.
• The Supervisor Confirmation Form: Potential students need to identify a research supervisor among the Department\'s faculty members as part of the application process. You may find information about our academic staff on Professors at Lyman Duff and Associate Members pages. Adjunct members may serve only as co-supervisors while the primary supervisor must be a full or associate member of the Department. Consider carefully the research interests of individual faculty members and contact them to discuss possible projects. Please see the section below on Finding a supervisor for more information. Please note that applications will not be considered unless The Supervisor Confirmation Form is attached.
• Proof of proficiency in English: All international students whose mother tongue is not English are required to submit the proof of proficiency in English and the results should be submitted along with the application.
