Overview
The PhD in Computer Science at Ontario Tech University focuses on applied research and trains graduates for careers in both industry and academia across four fields: Digital Media, Information Science, Networks and IT Security, and Software Design. The programme combines advanced coursework with independent research, research seminars, professional workshops and dissertation work, with particular emphasis on interdisciplinary teamwork and industry-relevant skills. Admission requires a master's-level degree in computer science, computer engineering, information technology or software engineering, and offers of admission depend on a faculty member agreeing to supervise the applicant's research. Instruction is delivered in-class, and the programme normally takes about four years of full-time study to complete. Entry is available in the September, January or May terms, with tuition charged at the university's flat annual doctoral rate.
