Program details
Overview
The PhD in Engineering Science at Laurentian University offers two areas of study: mining engineering, and mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. Research spans mining engineering, process engineering, robotics, automation, and advanced methods, developing engineering solutions for resource management at what the university positions as Canada's Mining University. Admission requires a confirmed thesis supervisor, formalized through a Thesis Supervisor Agreement that must be completed before an application is considered, alongside evidence of a suitable educational background and research potential. Once admitted, students must pass an oral Comprehensive Exam within 18 months of initial registration and complete an original thesis to fulfill the degree's research requirement. The program is delivered on campus. The two areas of study allow students to focus their doctoral research either on core mining engineering challenges or on mineral processing and extractive metallurgy techniques.
