Master of Science in Biology

Students admitted to the program are fully funded, including a full scholarship and a salary earned
through teaching or research assistantships. Students admitted to the biology program receive generous
financial assistance from the Department of Biology. All admitted students receive a full-tuition
scholarship for their graduate studies.
Most graduate students are also awarded a teaching assistantship each semester, resulting in a stipend of
approximately $9,000 per year. All applicants admitted to the program, both U.S. and international
students, are considered for these scholarships and assistantships when the admission applications are
reviewed. There is no separate application for this financial assistance.
Areas of Research
Unlike other programs, students are required to apply for a concentration and an opening in a specific
faculty member’s laboratory. Please contact the corresponding faculty member to discuss the program,
his/her research, and your interest in attending USF. To qualify for admission to the biology program, you
must be interested in pursuing research in one of the following areas:
Behavioral Ecology
Evolutionary Ecology
You will study four compulsory modules in Year One, and five compulsory modules plus a dissertation in
Year Two. You will then continue on to our PhD Finance programme, and complete your doctoral thesis.
The overall course structure is 2+4 years (MRes/PhD).
Our MRes/PhD Finance and Economics programme is fully funded. All students accepted onto the
programme will have their full fees paid and will receive an annual stipend of approximately £18,000 per
annum throughout their course, subject to satisfactory progress. Students do not need to apply separately
for this funding. It will be included as part of the offer onto the programme.
University of Washington
USA
Master of Science in Civil Engineering
https://www.ce.washington.edu/future/grad/masters
UW CEE offers master's degree programs in six specialty areas. Depending on the specialty area, students
can select from in-person or online courses or a combination.
- Environmental Engineering
- Geotechnical Engineering
- Transportation Engineering (online programs available in Supply Chain Transportation and Logistics and
Sustainable Transportation)
Funding for the master’s degree program depends on whether students pursue the Professional Master's
Program or research track. Professional Master's Program students are self-funded while the majority of
research track students are fully funded with research assistantships or fellowships.
The master’s program offers two degree options, depending on whether students want to pursue research
prior to doctorate studies or professional practice. All master’s students receive a Master of Science in Civil
Engineering degree regardless of which track they pursue.
Professional Master’s Program (PMP): This coursework-based option is for students who would like to
hone their expertise before entering the workforce, as well as experienced professionals who desire job
advancement. Students pursuing this degree are not expected to complete a thesis. Depending on the
focus area, students can select from in-person or online courses or a combination.
Research-intensive academic track: This option is for students who plan to pursue Ph.D. studies or who
are interested in participating in research prior to professional practice. The majority of students who
pursue the research track are fully funded with research assistantships or fellowships. If your application
is competitive, but funding is not available for research track admittance, your application will be
considered for the Professional Master’s Program.
