水资源合作计划促进了关于水的跨学科观点的发展。这项独特的计划使学生能够完成生物学系的专业培训
The Department of Biology offers thesis based graduate training at both the M.Sc. (Master of Science) and Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) levels. In both programs students are required to take courses. Normally, these courses are selected from the Biology listings, but you may take a course from any department on campus, or from other universities, provided that it is approved for credit by your advisory committee. At least two of the required courses must come from within the Biology Department listings. All our programs require that graduate students take the Graduate Academic Integrity Module. This is an online course that must be completed within the first 8 weeks of your first term and will be listed on your transcript. You will be contacted by the Integrity Office to complete this online module. This is not the same as the Academic Integrity Workshop, which is also required.<br><br>The Collaborative Water Program promotes the development of interdisciplinary perspectives on water. This unique program allows students to complete their specialist training in the Department of Biology, while working with colleagues from a variety of other departments or schools in core interdisciplinary courses. As an interdisciplinary offering, the Collaborative Water Program is delivered jointly by 11 departments and schools from across all six University of Waterloo faculties. Co-ordinated and supported by the Water Institute, the Collaborative Water Program provides students with the opportunity to study complex water problems, learning how to work in interdisciplinary teams to better understand and address these water issues. Students graduate from the Collaborative Water Program as future water leaders, able to communicate across disciplines and within interdisciplinary teams in the water sector.
