The Interdisciplinary Degree allows a qualified graduate student to pursue thesis-based research (Master's, PhD) in an area that does not fit the traditional disciplinary requirements of only one graduate program. The requirements for the student's program are individually tailored to meet their research interests. Research is carried out under the direction and guidance of a Supervisor, Co-Supervisor and Supervisory Committee whose research expertise is relevant to the disciplinary areas.  Before applying, students should ensure that both programs of interest offer the same degree (e.g. both programs offer an MA, or both offer an MSc, etc.).

Contact the prospective home graduate program for further details.

Most graduate programs include some interdisciplinary work. The following interdisciplinary specializations have been formalized by the programs involved to facilitate the study and research capability:

Biological Anthropology

Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Geomatics Engineering, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering

Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, Geology and Geophysics

Biomedical Engineering, Veterinary Medical Sciences

Please see the section on Interdisciplinary Specializations for more information.
