Each student within this option will choose a Research Supervisor, who in consultation with the Program Director, will select appropriate courses for completion over two terms of instruction. The intensive research necessary for the Research Paper will normally be completed in the final summer semester. This will allow completion of the MEnvSc. in 12 months of full-time study. Frequently, one of the half-courses will be EES1114H Directed Readings in Environmental Science on a topic that will support the research project EES1101Y.
Research Fellowships are available to research students (value: up to $6,000).
The research option is available on all fields of study
