This 90-credit interdisciplinary doctoral programme examines population transformations and their interaction with social, political, and environmental change, drawing on sociology, demography, geography, economics, anthropology, and history. Students study topics such as family dynamics, gender and sexuality, youth trajectories, population health, economic inequality, and the experience of immigration. The programme is offered through four areas of concentration: social statistics and demography, family, youth, and populations and societies. Teaching is delivered across the Montreal and Quebec City campuses, linked by interactive videoconferencing so that students at either location can take part in the same seminars. Candidates must complete a minimum of six trimesters, including at least three on a full-time basis, and must secure the agreement of a thesis supervisor before being admitted. The programme leads to the degree of Philosophiae doctor (Ph.D.), with admission possible in the fall, winter, or summer term.
