COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Entomology at the University of Manitoba offers a range of advanced, research-focused courses designed to deepen students' understanding of insect biology and management. ENTM 7120: Insect Population Management explores ecological principles and practical strategies for managing insect populations in agricultural and natural systems. ENTM 7150: Advanced Entomology 1 provides an in-depth examination of entomological theories, including insect physiology, ecology, and evolution. ENTM 7200: Advanced Insect Taxonomy emphasizes the identification, classification, and systematics of insects using modern taxonomic methods. ENTM 7210: Special Topics in Entomology allows students to explore emerging or specialized areas of entomological research tailored to their academic interests. ENTM 7230: Advanced Pollination Biology focuses on the critical role of insects in pollination ecology, with applications in conservation and agriculture. The course on Advances in Physiological Ecology of Insects investigates how insects interact with their environments at the physiological level, examining responses to temperature, humidity, and other abiotic factors. Together, these courses provide a strong theoretical and practical foundation for students pursuing research careers or further academic study. They also support the development of key scientific skills, including data analysis, critical thinking, and effective communication, essential for success in the field of entomology.
