STUDENT PROFILE
Sonja Stadler

Graduate program of study: Master of Science in Applied Bioscience

Why I chose UOIT: UOIT is the only university in Canada that provides a graduate program with a focus in forensic science.
In addition, the growing research faculty and facilities provide an excellent opportunity to conduct relevant and exciting
research. The fact that UOIT is a small university with an interdisciplinary science department was an added bonus. I felt
that these features would create a close-knit community for me to become a part of.

What I like best about my program: The Applied Bioscience program incorporates both course work and completion of a
thesis. By combining these aspects I feel like I can get the most out of my Master’s degree. Through the course work I learned
about ongoing research in other fields and developed skills for a career in academia, which provided a strong foundation for my research. The thesis
portion will allow me to conduct research in an area that genuinely interests me. I will develop and conduct my own research project, learning the ins
and outs of research along the way.
