FACULTY OF
SCIENCE & ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
Our Faculty of Science & Environmental Studies (SES) has ten departments: Anthropology, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, Geography and the Environment, Geology, Mathematical Sciences, Sustainability Sciences, and Physics. We have disciplinary-based and interdisciplinary programs at the Master’s level and two interdisciplinary PhD programs in Biotechnology and Chemistry and Material Science. Some Master’s programs are available as course-based options. Applicants interested in thesis-based programs are encouraged to contact potential supervisors directly before submitting an application for graduate study.
