Overview

Research projects primarily investigate translational and/or clinical aspects of human disease, health, healthy living, and/or translational research but may also include more biomedical research projects with clinical translation.

Features

Areas of research are open and dependent on the research interests and expertise of the student and their research supervisor.

These Health Sciences programs at University of Saskatchewan offer relevant, centrally managed programs that provide research skills, attitudes, and knowledge necessary for any life and health science graduate regardless of the nature of the research project.

Programme Structure

Research

Prior to beginning an online application, applicants must secure a College of Medicine faculty supervisor in their area of research interest.

Students are required to contact University of Saskatchewan faculty with research interests similar to their own to discuss the possibility of being a student under their guidance and supervision. Student applicants may email faculty with research information.

Interested faculty will return the email if there are any openings for new students.

The University of Saskatchewan faculty advisor must have funding for the student’s proposed project.

A list of faculty members is available online, as are additional tips for finding and contacting a supervisor.
