Overview
The PhD in Computational Science and Engineering at McMaster University is an interdisciplinary doctoral programme connecting engineering, science, mathematics, computer science, and business to develop computational tools for research and discovery. Students specialize in one of three research areas: computational physical sciences, computational optimization, design and control, or computational biosciences, applying simulation, modelling, and optimization methods to problems that extend beyond traditional theoretical or experimental approaches. Admission requires a research-based Master's degree in Engineering, Mathematics, or Physical Sciences. The programme operates within a multidisciplinary research and education environment intended to prepare graduates to work on computationally intensive problems across disciplines. It is completed on a full-time basis over a nominal four years, with entry offered in September, January, or May.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a research-based Master's degree in Engineering, Mathematics or Physical Sciences. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet McMaster's graduate English proficiency requirement, for example IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with a minimum of 6.0 in each component.
