The graduate program in Human Genetics and Genomics will enable students to pursue academic studies and research towards an MSc or PhD degree in a number of areas of genetics. The Faculty members have multi-disciplinary research expertise. Strengths of the faculty are in the areas of cancer genetics, genetic epidemiology, gene mapping, medical genetics, birth defects, population genetics, complex diseases, animal models and development, and bioinformatics. Faculty members from all three Divisions of the Faculty of Medicine (BioMedical Sciences, Community Health and Clinical Sciences) participate in the program. This multi-disciplinary integrated approach to teaching and research training is designed to provide trainees with an understanding of human genetics which includes both theory and practical applications of human disease. The close association of basic and clinical researchers provide an ideal setting in which to obtain an integrated understanding of human genetics.<br><br>Both MSc and PhD degree programs are thesis-based programs. In order to obtain an MSc or PhD degree, students will be required to have completed an advanced undergraduate course in genetics, Genetics Seminar Series, a minimum of two graduate level courses (for MSc), and a thesis based on original research. PhD students may be recommended to take graduate level courses if needed. Students admitted to or transferring to the PhD program will be required to pass a comprehensive examination in accordance with the regulations governing the School of Graduate Studies.<br><br>Normally, the duration of MSc and PhD programs are 2 and 4 years, respectively.<br><br>Duration (Full-time students):<br>MSc (Med): 1-2 years<br><br>Campus:<br>St. John's
