Developed in consultation with leading business and industry, UOIT's innovative programs emphasize the skills and knowledge you will need in post-graduation life. All our programs adhere to our interdisciplinary ethos and are built on our common first year program of study. Over the course of your career, baseline knowledge will continuously evolve, but the scientific foundations - the analytical and problem solving skills that form the bedrock of science and of our programs - give you to tools to adapt to future developments in any field of scientific endeavour you choose to enter.
The Faculty of Science emphasizes the development of leadership and communication skills. Writing grant proposals, competing for additional budget, whether in academia or industry; managing a research lab or running an R&D department these are important aspects of a successful and fulfilling scientific career. You will be expected to participate in several team projects, frequently focused on controversial and complex issues and will learn to communicate clearly and concisely in written, graphic and oral formats for a variety of audiences.
Professors at UOIT are experts in their fields from around the world. They challenge and inspire students to push their own boundaries of thinking and learning.
We maintain strong links with other faculties in the university, in particular with the faculties of education, engineering, and health sciences, providing further educational opportunities for students and for research collaboration.
