Program details
Overview
The PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering is the highest research degree offered by Concordia University's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, in the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science. Students develop expertise in a chosen research area through specialized graduate coursework and an original research thesis, completed under the supervision of a faculty member. The program totals 90 credits, made up of 12 credits of coursework, 8 credits covering the comprehensive exam, thesis proposal, and seminar, and 70 credits of research and thesis work. The nominal full-time duration is four years, based at the Sir George Williams campus. Unlike most Concordia doctoral programs, this one admits new students in the fall, winter, and summer terms.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants normally require a master's degree, or equivalent, with high standing in engineering, computer science, or a cognate discipline. Applicants holding only a bachelor's degree may be considered for admission to the master's program first and can apply to the PhD after completing a minimum of one term of full-time graduate study. Applicants whose primary language is not English must demonstrate that their knowledge of English is sufficient to pursue graduate studies. Application deadlines are July 1 (Canadian) / March 1 (U.S. and international) for fall, November 1 (Canadian) / July 1 (U.S. and international) for winter, and March 1 (Canadian) / November 1 (U.S. and international) for summer.
