Program Overview

Program Description:

The Ph.D. in Theoretical and Computational Science is delivered by the Faculty of Arts and Science. Students in this program are normally supervised by Faculty members in the following contributing departments/areas: Chemistry and Biochemistry, Mathematics and Computer Science, and Physics and Astronomy.

The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) program is designed to immerse students into further investigation and research, to build and support the programs of research at the University and to enliven the undergraduate learning environment.

The Ph.D. program is thesis-based and offered in a number of areas of study (see Ph.D. Program Grid). Depending on the academic background, students may be required to take up to six courses in their area of study; the number and details of the courses are determined at the time of admission to the program. Consequently, it is necessary for a prospective student to establish contact with a potential supervisor prior to application for admission. Prospective students seeking supervisors should contact the School of Graduate Studies or visit its website.

The Ph.D. program is administered centrally by the School of Graduate Studies rather than by individual departments or Faculties.
