How can I get more research experience?

Search the faculty member’s profiles on our website and make note of what interests you. The best way to start is volunteering in a lab or doing filed work or literature searches. We also have courses dedicated to research such as HLSC 3P30 or HLSC 4P30. These are Directed Readings in which you work one on one with the professor to develop a research project of mutual interest. You could also do a 4th year thesis (HLSC 4F90) in which you work extensively with a professor to test a hypothesis or fulfill research objectives. Doing a thesis is the best way to know if you really like research and whether or not graduate studies are for you
