LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY IS
NO ORDINARY PLACE
I wish you a warm welcome to Lakehead University. For the 5th year in a row, RE$EARCH Infosource has awarded Lakehead University the title of Canada’s Research University of the Year in our peer category. Our continued success in research and innovation is largely due to the quality of graduate programs we offer, as well as our award-winning faculty and students. Our Research Plan (2019-2024) identifies our research priorities and highlights the graduate programs that relate to each priority. You will find the list very extensive. At Lakehead University, we have a number of world-class institutes and centres. A look
at our research centres will make it easy for you to identify leading researchers and areas where you will be able to conduct research that ignites your passions and makes a difference. The impact of research goes far beyond the lab at Lakehead University. Our Economic Development & Innovation Office can help you commercialize your innovations and develop partnerships with industry and government to facilitate knowledge transfer and community connections. The Faculty of Graduate Studies is located in the
Centre for Advanced Studies in Engineering and Sciences (CASES). This building has become a hub for graduate students to gather in the lounge to socialize and connect over shared research interests. CASES is also home to Ingenuity, Lakehead University’s first student business incubator. I encourage you to take advantage of the space and resources Ingenuity offers to help you start a business or further develop your ideas through workshops, competitions, and a makerspace. Whether you are a budding entrepreneur or researcher, boundless opportunities await you here at Lakehead University. Training of highly qualified personnel is a priority at Lakehead University. Our graduate programs and mentorship from our faculty continue to generate excellent future researchers.
Andrew P. Dean, PhD, Vice-President, Research and Innovation
   The Faculty of Graduate Studies at Lakehead University
welcomes you to explore our exceptional graduate programs
and potential research opportunities outlined in this
guidebook. As a comprehensive and research-intensive
university, Lakehead’s graduate programs endeavour to
provide you with the scholarly student-centered environment
necessary to pursue your personal, professional and
intellectual development. Lakehead University has developed
the Centre for Advanced Studies in Engineering and Sciences
Building (CASES) to further inspire top-tier research and
innovation. This building houses a dedicated lounge and
outdoor patio for our graduate students to study, collaborate or
socialize. In addition, it is home to four of Lakehead’s newest
Canada Research Chairs, three research support units, The
Faculty of Graduate Studies, more than seven leading research
programs and laboratories, and INGENUITY – a business incubator space. At Lakehead University,
your graduate experience extends beyond the lab or classroom, as many of our programs offer placements, fieldwork, or co-op opportunities, and plenty of chances to socialize with fellow students on or off campus. I encourage you to explore the many unconventional opportunities available for you to engage with our community of scholars at Lakehead University, and I look forward to greeting you at one of our campuses.
 Chander Shahi, PhD, Dean, Faculty of Graduate Studies
Lakehead offers 40 Graduate Programs at Master and PhD levels. Students have the ability to work closely with their supervisor due to our smaller student population.
