MSc Human Health and Nutritional Sciences

To be considered, applicants must meet the requirements of a four-year honours science degree with a minimum 75% average during the final two years, or four semesters, of undergraduate study (learn how to calculate your admission average). Applicants should have completed a course in statistics.

Applicants for both the thesis or coursework and individual-based major research project must obtain the support of a faculty member willing to serve as their advisor prior to submitting an application. Those who apply without first finding an advisor will automatically be considered for the team coursework option.

Admission is offered for the thesis and major research project options in Fall, Winter and Summer semesters. Admission for the team coursework option is only offered for the Fall. Completed applications should be uploaded at least one full semester (four months) before the expected date of admission. Applications from international students should be uploaded six to nine months prior to the expected date of admission.

All components of the application, including transcript(s), graduate certificate(s), grading scale(s), English Language Proficiency tests, assessment forms, a statement of interest and the name of the faculty advisor must be uploaded no later than two months after an application is submitted through the OUAC portal. Applications that are incomplete after this time period will be closed.
