微生物学博士

曼尼托巴大学的微生物学研究生课程是一项基于研究的课程。任何学生都不会被录取为硕士 或博士学位 除非微生物学教员同意对申请人的计划进行监督。所要求的课程旨在提高对微生物学各个领域当前研究的认识
Graduate studies in Microbiology at the University of Manitoba is a research based program. No student will be accepted into either the M.Sc. or Ph.D. program unless a Microbiology faculty member has agreed to supervise the applicants program. The courses which are required are designed to enhance awareness of current research in various fields of microbiology, to bring a students knowledge to the latest state of the art in their area of interest or to develop their ability to communicate experimental results. Because of this philosophy, our students emerge as knowledgeable investigators and often produce two or more papers from their thesis research. This level of productivity is important in helping our graduates develop their future careers and obtain good positions following graduation. The Department offers programs of study in various areas of modern microbiology leading to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy. Because the Department is relatively small, the research interests of the faculty and students are concentrated in several main areas. Currently,programs are offered in the following areas 1. Microbial ecology and geochemistry 2. Molecular biologygenetics 3. Metabolism of autotrophic bacteria 4. Microbial biotechnology and biochemistry 5. Microbial pathogenicity (for specific topics, see the list of faculty research interests below). These areas are among the most rapidly developing fields of microbiological research so that our graduates are in demand and by concentration in these areas we have sufficient people working on related projects to ensure exchange of ideas, information and facilities. An important consequence of a relatively small Department is the friendly informal atmosphere. It is easy to get to know the students and faculty, who are very approachable and always willing to provide assistance to all students in the program. The Ph.D. option consists of coursework and a substantial research component.Expected Duration - 4 years.
