PhD in Telecommunications

This 90-credit doctoral programme advances research in telecommunications through work within research teams active in wireless communications, optical and hybrid communications, and sensory communications, covering areas from optical-signal processing through to speech recognition and multimedia technologies. The 90 credits comprise three optional courses (nine credits), two required examinations (ten credits), and a 71-credit doctoral thesis. The programme leads to the degree of Philosophiae doctor (Ph.D.) and is offered on a full-time basis, with admission possible in the fall, winter, or summer term. Before admission, a candidate must hold prior training aligned with the programme's requirements, demonstrate a research orientation matching the objectives of the host research programmes, comply with INRS's language policy, and secure the agreement of a research director.
