University of Guelph Speciality : Computer Science
programme: Bioinformatics

In the bioinformatics graduate program (M.Binf), there are caring professors that are passionate or are very well versed about the course material (i.e genomic methods for bioinformatics, BINF*6110). There are many insightful and interesting summer research projects for students to undertake in the BINF 6999 summer research course ranging from microbiology, ecology, animal sciences, and human health sciences. Notably, the University of Guelph is one of the leading universities in ecology and animal sciences/veterinary research. The campus has many quiet places to study such as the McLaughlin library, the Summerlee Science Complex, or the University Centre. The Lookout, located on the 5th floor of the University centre, often sells cheap $1 coffee to students and is an excellent place to socialize with friends. Transportation is highly accessible at the University, with your student card acting as the fare to the local Guelph transit while both GO buses and Guelph buses directly drop you off in front of or near the university centre.
