Help for Graduate Students

Graduate studies can be an exciting and rewarding opportunity to learn new skills and advance your career. It is also often a time of stress and anxiety due to new academic challenges, financial worries, and performing original research which can involve failed experiments and unexpected setbacks. With so many faculty and students in our department, personal and academic conflicts sometimes arise.

There is lots of help available in Biology, Faculty of Graduate Studies, and University-wide.
