Overview
Key Facts
- A faculty advisor is required for both the course-based and thesis-based programs before we can move an application forward.
- Prospective Population Medicine students at the University of Guelph are encouraged to contact faculty (either before or soon after submitting an application) to ask them if they are willing to take them on as a graduate student. Program space may be limited by faculty availability.
- The Department of Population Medicine is an international leader in discovering and disseminating knowledge to optimize the health of animal and human populations in their environments.
- We embrace a holistic definition of health that includes physical health, welfare, and productivity of animals and the physical, mental, and social well-being of humans.
- We help students build foundational knowledge and skills while fostering continuous self-directed and collaborative learning and discovery. We answer the call of society for advice and action in our areas of expertise.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- The major emphasis in the PhD program is on the preparation of an acceptable thesis. There are no specific course requirements other than the Department Seminar Course, which must be completed twice. However, students are expected to have taken Epidemiology I and Epidemiology II, or their equivalent, in their MSc program.
- It is usual for students, in consultation with their advisory committee, to select a suitable program of prescribed studies and additional courses.
- Course selection takes into account the student's background, research area, career aspirations, and need to prepare for the qualifying examination.
