Program details

Overview

This PhD is a thesis-based doctoral degree in chemistry offered by Dalhousie University's Faculty of Science together with the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Students conduct independent and original research under the guidance of a faculty supervisor across areas of chemistry, culminating in a dissertation that is developed and defended before a committee. The program draws on the department's research laboratories and specialized instrumentation for graduate-level chemical research. It is delivered in-person on a full-time basis and is typically completed in five years or longer. Admission normally requires a first-class thesis-based master's degree in chemistry or a closely related field, together with the Faculty of Graduate Studies minimum grade requirement. Graduates are prepared for research and teaching careers in academia, government, and industry. The Department of Chemistry coordinates program-specific admission requirements alongside university-wide graduate admission standards.
