The Gerald Bronfman Department of Oncology has partnered with the Division of Surgical and Interventional Sciences to provide students the opportunity to use the Graduate Diploma in Oncology听as a springboard for a master鈥檚 non-thesis degree in Experimental Surgery. Students who will be completing the Graduate Diploma in Oncology can choose Option 1 or Option 2 (below).

If Option 1 (stackable master鈥檚 non-thesis) is chosen, students will complete the Graduate Diploma in Oncology and then register for the Graduate Certificate in Surgical Innovation.

If Option 2 (MSc non-thesis in Experimental Surgery - Oncology concentration) is chosen, full-time students will be able to apply for the MSc program while completing their final term in the Graduate Diploma in Oncology. Students who are part-time will be able to apply once they have completed at least 21 credits of the Graduate Diploma in Oncology. If accepted into this MSc program, it will be conditional upon successful completion of the Diploma鈥檚 30 credits of coursework. These credits will then be transferred to the master's degree and students will take an additional 15 credits of courses required by Surgical and Interventional Sciences as shown below.

Students who completed the Graduate Diploma in Oncology in previous years and were therefore officially granted the Diploma, can only choose the stackable route (Option 1).

Option 1: Stackable Master's Non-thesis (45 credits)
