About this program
Program that drives reflection
This program trains independent researchers able to carry out original research and make a significant contribution to a field of study in physiology, such as cellular physiology and membrane transport, or the physiology of the cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, digestive and endocrine systems. During the program, you will gain in-depth knowledge of your field of specialization and related fields, conduct an original research project, and develop oral and written communication skills.
- Basic sciences focused on experimental laboratory research
- Dynamic and qualified faculty members with access to state-of-the-art laboratories
- Well-funded interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research settings
Language accommodations
Although Université de Montréal is a French-language university, many of our research departments are open to creating a bilingual environment for students in graduate-level programs. These departments are aware of the importance of bilingualism in order for graduate students to succeed in their research careers.
Students who are proficient in English are therefore welcome and accepted into graduate-level programs.
The Department of Physiology provides a number of accommodations to make you feel comfortable and help you fulfill the requirements of the program even if French is not your main language of study:
- Access to course notes in both French and English.
- Possibility of taking an equivalent course at an English-language university in Montréal.
- Choice of giving oral seminar presentations in either French or English.
- Choice of writing exams in French or English.
- Choice of taking the comprehensive exam in either French or English.
- Choice of writing your doctoral thesis or dissertation in French or English.
All laboratories are offered in a bilingual environment. Above all, department staff are available to help and support you throughout your studies.
