Scenario 1: Student currently Graduate Diploma in Oncology

Student would have to apply and the 30 credits would be transferred. In that case, student would not get the Graduate Diploma designation since the credits would roll over into the MSc program.

The Department of Surgical and Interventional Sciences will be launching two new MSc Non-thesis programs (see below for details). Students who will be completing the Graduate Diploma in Oncology this year can choose Option 1 or Option 2.

If Option 1 is chosen, students will complete the Graduate Diploma in Oncology and then register for the Graduate Certificate in Surgical Innovation.

Option 1: Stackable Master's Non-thesis (45 credits)

Graduate Diploma in Oncology (30 credits)

Graduate Certificate in Surgical Innovation (15 credits)听/surgicalandinterventionalsciences/programs/surgical-innovation-graduate-certificate

Students who completed the Graduate Diploma in Oncology in 2021 and were therefore officially granted the Diploma, can only choose the stackable route (Option 1).

If Option 2 is chosen, students will be transferring the 30 credits of coursework they have taken for the Graduate Diploma in Oncology to the master's degree and will take an additional 15 credits of courses required by Surgical and Interventional Sciences as shown below.

Option 2: Master's Non-thesis in听Surgical and Interventional Sciences, Oncology concentration (45 credits)

Students who are currently part-time will be able to apply once they have completed at least 21 credits of the Graduate Diploma in Oncology, acceptance conditional on successfully completing the requirements for the Graduate Diploma.

The two MSc programs have been approved to start in Fall 2022 and we are waiting for official notification so that we can set up the registration process. Any questions about registration for either of the programs should be addressed to Surgical and Interventional Sciences.
