Scholarships & awards (merit-based funding)

All applicants are encouraged to review the awards listing to identify potential opportunities to fund their graduate education. The database lists merit-based scholarships and awards and allows for filtering by various criteria, such as domestic vs. international or degree level.

Graduate Research Assistantships (GRA)

Many professors are able to provide Research Assistantships (GRA) from their research grants to support full-time graduate students studying under their supervision. The duties constitute part of the student's graduate degree requirements. A Graduate Research Assistantship is considered a form of fellowship for a period of graduate study and is therefore not covered by a collective agreement. Stipends vary widely, and are dependent on the field of study and the type of research grant from which the assistantship is being funded.

Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTA)

Graduate programs may have Teaching Assistantships available for registered full-time graduate students. Full teaching assistantships involve 12 hours work per week in preparation, lecturing, or laboratory instruction although many graduate programs offer partial TA appointments at less than 12 hours per week. Teaching assistantship rates are set by collective bargaining between the University and the Teaching Assistants' Union .

Graduate Academic Assistantships (GAA)

Academic Assistantships are employment opportunities to perform work that is relevant to the university or to an individual faculty member, but not to support the student’s graduate research and thesis. Wages are considered regular earnings and when paid monthly, include vacation pay.

Financial aid (need-based funding)

Canadian and US applicants may qualify for governmental loans to finance their studies. Please review eligibility and types of loans .

All students may be able to access private sector or bank loans.

Foreign government scholarships

Many foreign governments provide support to their citizens in pursuing education abroad. International applicants should check the various governmental resources in their home country, such as the Department of Education, for available scholarships.

Working while studying

The possibility to pursue work to supplement income may depend on the demands the program has on students. It should be carefully weighed if work leads to prolonged program durations or whether work placements can be meaningfully embedded into a program.

International students enrolled as full-time students with a valid study permit can work on campus for unlimited hours and work off-campus for no more than 20 hours a week.

A good starting point to explore student jobs is the UBC Work Learn program or a Co-Op placement .

Tax credits and RRSP withdrawals

Students with taxable income in Canada may be able to claim federal or provincial tax credits.

Canadian residents with RRSP accounts may be able to use the Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP) which allows students to withdraw amounts from their registered retirement savings plan (RRSPs) to finance full-time training or education for themselves or their partner.

Please review Filing taxes in Canada on the student services website for more information.

Cost Estimator

Applicants have access to the cost estimator to develop a financial plan that takes into account various income sources and expenses.

Doctor of Philosophy in Health Quality

Click here to learn how to apply!

The PhD in Health Quality (PhDHQ) will prepare experts who will improve the delivery of healthcare through teaching, developing new methodologies and theoretical frameworks, as well as testing innovation in the field of health quality. The PhDHQ program offers a collaborative approach to comprehend and address the complexities within the healthcare system. Graduates of the program will be prepared to take senior leadership roles in health quality portfolios in practice and policy settings across Canada and will also be educated to assume tenure track positions in university programs. While the degree is research intensive, it will also be grounded in pragmatism and will help prepare independent researchers for quality improvement research and developing leadership capabilities in health settings.

The PhDHQ program is a four-year, interdisciplinary program using a combination of synchronous and asynchronous study as well as interactive online videoconferencing. The PhDHQ program consists of five (5) courses in year one, including an internship over the summer months. The internship will be tailored to the learners’ interests and to broadening their perspectives on health quality. In the fall term of year two, students complete the comprehensive exam. In the winter and summer terms of year two (2) students will focus on the development of their thesis proposal and complete HQRS 905 Current Topics in Health Quality. After a successful oral examination of the thesis proposal, students submit their project for ethics review and then proceed to data collection, analysis, and writing. The thesis requires independent, original research and makes up at least two-thirds of the time normally required for the program. Upper year students are expected to visit campus at least once per year; students are required to attend the final thesis examination in person. Nurtured by close mentoring relationships with faculty supervisors, the Queen’s model is to ensure graduate students present and publish their research, and normally complete their program in 4 years.

Non-Thesis M.Sc. Program in Food Safety

This 45-credit program is offered to candidates who seek further specialization in food safety but do not wish to pursue independent research. A strong undergraduate background in microbiology and knowledge of foodborne pathogens and food toxicants are required for admission to this program. Students complete a combination of graduate-level courses and a 12-credit research project.

The research project is a 12-week, full-time project under the direction of a staff member or external supervisor, including a detailed report on a food safety related topic which is submitted to the department. In the form of a literature review, the project will critically evaluate and summarize the current stage of development and suggest ways to resolve issues associated with the topic. The project also normally includes wet or dry lab work analyzing data that points to a current research problem in food science. 

It is up to the project instructor and program advisor to allow a student to be involved in a project external to the department or the University. An industry internship is not guaranteed. Students are permitted to receive funding for their participation in a research project or internship.

This M.Sc. non-thesis program only admits students in September. The duration is typically three academic terms, usually completed in a 12-month period. However, the program may be extended to accommodate, for example, a modified course load and/or additional required preparatory courses. 

The typical course load sequence is:

  • 12-15 credits lectured courses in fall term (full-time)
  • 12-15 credits lectured courses in winter term (full-time)
  • 15 credits research project + graduate seminar in summer term (full-time)

Optional: An additional (part-time) term in the fall may be required depending on actual course loads and/or additional required preparatory coursework. 

You can view the current cost of tuition and ancillary fees for three academic terms (fall/winter/summer) using the McGill Student Accounts fee calculator . Select the appropriate residency and select Master's Non-Thesis Programs. The amount shown is for the fall and winter terms (two full-time terms, 30 credits). To estimate the total fees required for an M.Sc. non-thesis program, prorate the 30-credit estimate to 45 credits.

There is no financial assistance nor demonstratorship associated with this program. All applicants to this program must agree to be self-funded. Work for a co-op, research project, or internship will form an integral part of the student’s program. International students are required to have a work co-op permit in addition to a study permit.

PhD In Food Safety And Quality Management In Canada

Food safety and quality assurance Conestoga College and PhD in food safety and quality management in Canada.

The food industry is one of the largest economic activities, which plays a crucial role in social and economic development. The food industry generates jobs, improves the standard of living, reduces trade deficits, and contributes to the prosperity of people around the world. In spite of these benefits, the production of safe food continues to be a challenge for governments. In recent years, more attention has been paid to the safety of foods from plants and animals that are consumed by humans. Food safety involves identifying hazards that may occur during food processing or storage. These hazards can then be controlled during processing or storage. We must not forget that food safety is an important aspect of the provision of high-quality products to consumers.

After you have found out about what we provide about our software for recording expenses, you should know that we provide information about foodsaver vac 120 uses. Additionally, we give you all the details you want about urine testing for food allergies. This is due to the fact that we want to give as much as possible about controlling aspartame.

Schools with food safety and quality assurance certification in Canada are continuously updated to reflect recent developments in their courses. If you are interested in becoming a professional, you’re most likely interested in attaining the highest level of professional certification.

Collegelearners presents elaborate explanations covering pressing topics you need to know about schools offering food safety and quality assurance courses in Canada.

Nestle doubles down on food safety, quality | Food Business News | August  10, 2016 14:56

Food safety is a multidisciplinary field aimed at providing consumers with a high-quality food product, free of contaminants. It focuses on the analytical and toxicological aspects, in addition to risk analysis and management. Food safety has become increasingly important due to the globalization of the food supply chain and increased international trade. The estimated cost to the Canadian economy of food borne illnesses and related deaths is estimated at $12 to $14 billion per year. The food borne pathogens, Clostridium botulinum, Campylobacter, Cyclospora, E. coli 0157:H7, Listeria, C. perfringens, Salmonella, and Toxoplasma, represent major microbial risks to food safety in Canada.

The goal of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the potential hazards associated with food products and how they can be analyzed or controlled so as not to adversely affect the health of consumers.

PROGRAM MISSION

The McGill Food Safety and Quality Program (FSQP) aims to be the foremost Canadian centre for education, knowledge and specialized advice relating to food safety and quality.

PROGRAM VISION
