Program details
Overview
This Doctor of Philosophy in Physics is offered by Concordia's Department of Physics as a thesis-based program centred on research activities, complemented by a few advanced courses, examining fundamental and applied concepts in physics or biomedical physics. Departmental research strengths include condensed matter physics, biomedical physics, theoretical particle physics, laser optics, and computational physics, giving doctoral candidates a broad range of supervisors and laboratories to choose from. The degree requires 90 credits, combining coursework, seminars, a comprehensive examination, and doctoral research and thesis work, and is based at the Loyola (LOY) campus. The program spans four years on a full-time basis, with entry available in the Fall or Winter term, and culminates in an original doctoral thesis in physics or biomedical physics.
