Program details
Overview
The PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Polytechnique Montreal develops advanced knowledge, intellectual rigour, scientific curiosity, and creativity for high-level professional practice, scientific research, and university teaching. The programme lets candidates deepen their expertise in a chosen specialty and push its boundaries, building the ability to evaluate scientific literature and apply rigorous methods of reasoning and experimentation within mechanical engineering research. Candidates work with a faculty supervisor to define a thesis project matched to their research interests and to the department's research groups. The programme totals 90 credits: a minimum of 15 credits of graduate coursework and 75 credits of research leading to a doctoral thesis. Candidates who already hold a graduate degree may be exempted from all or part of the coursework credits, under the conditions set out in the general regulations for graduate studies. Graduates receive the degree of Philosophiae Doctor (Ph.D.).
Requirements
Admission Requirements: To be admitted to a doctoral program, candidates must hold a bachelor's or master's degree from Polytechnique Montreal or a recognized equivalent, have a strong academic record, and secure the agreement of a professor willing to supervise the research. A strong academic record alone does not guarantee admission to the program; the candidate must also obtain a professor's commitment to supervise the thesis.
