UBC Masters Scholarship in Cell and Developmental Biology

The graduate program in Cell and Developmental Biology offers M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees to students undertaking advanced study and research in cell and developmental biology. The program is flexible and is designed to accommodate the diverse backgrounds of students and the broad nature of research in cell and developmental biology.

The program's courses provide a thorough understanding of the scientific fundamentals and methodologies of contemporary cell and developmental biology. All students also undertake original and significant research from the start of their studies. With nearly 50 faculty members engaged in cutting-edge research in cell and developmental biology, a wide range of research topics is available to students.

The program also aims to enhance linkages and facilitate research interactions between the larger community of cell and developmental biologists in British Columbia by acting as a common forum for scholarly exchange in cell and developmental biology through its student-led seminar series, research retreats and other activities.

• The CELL Program welcomes applications from students with first-class or high second-class Bachelor’s or Master’s degrees.

• In most cases, students enter with a degree(s) in the biological life sciences, but applicants with other backgrounds, such as computational modeling, mathematics, and chemistry, will also interest some CELL faculty members.

• Early application is strongly recommended, especially in the case of applicants who intend to apply for financial assistance and/or international students, who should be aware that it may require up to six months to process visa applications.

• Based on the criteria outlined below, 30 students within this program were included in this study because they received funding through UBC in the form of teaching, research, academic assistantships, or internal or external awards, with a mean of $34,183 and a median of $35,200.

• This results in a net balance (any funding provided to the student minus tuition and fees) with a mean of $25,901 and a median of $25,639.
