University of Guelph-Humber

Graduate with relevant research skills.  Ask new questions.  Participate in the creation of new knowledge.

In your final year, you’ll choose between conducting a systematic literature review and an Undergraduate Thesis project.  For either, you’ll work under the supervision of a faculty member, who can work either at the University of Guelph-Humber, the University of Guelph, Humber College, or any other academic institution with permission from the course director. 

Literature review project:

• Work with a research supervisor exploring an area of interest in the health sciences.
• Learn the various steps of research project development and scientific writing.

Undergraduate Thesis project:

• Conduct novel research and analyze data.
• Learn to collect data, interpret it, and give a final report with both a scientific paper and an oral presentation.

It will be your responsibility to find a supervisor for your project whose research is related to your topic of interest. As a starting point, below are links to the faculties of the related University of Guelph and Humber departments.

Please note that not all faculty members will be available to supervise.
