Admission Requirements
To qualify for admission to the doctor of philosophy (PhD) program, a student must have a master鈥檚 degree, or the equivalent, in physics.
Admission from a Master鈥檚 Program to the PhD Program
A student may be admitted from a master of science (MSc) program with a 3.67 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) calculated over a minimum of 15 graduate units, and approval of the student鈥檚 supervisory committee and the senate graduate studies committee.
Program Requirements
The minimum requirement consists of nine graduate units beyond the master鈥檚 or equivalent degree.
Students who have not previously received credit for PHYS 801 must complete this course as well.
Faculty of Science requirements must also be met.
Research
A major portion of this program is conducting original research. A thesis, embodying new and important results or original research, must be presented and defended at the conclusion of the degree program.
Language Requirement
In certain areas of research, familiarity with languages other than English may be important so a student鈥檚 supervisory committee may require a reading knowledge of one such language.
Academic Requirements within the Graduate General Regulations
All graduate students must satisfy the academic requirements that are specified in the graduate general regulations (residence, course work, academic progress, supervision, research competence requirement, completion time, and degree completion), as well as the specific requirements for the program in which they are enrolled, as shown above.
