Program details

Overview

The PhD in Materials Science is jointly offered by Ontario Tech University and Trent University, combining in-person instruction from faculty at both institutions with collaborative online lectures delivered by videoconference. The programme emphasizes interdisciplinary materials research with hands-on laboratory experience and scientific communication training across four specialized fields: biomaterials, materials chemistry, materials physics, and theoretical and computational materials science. Applicants must hold a master's-level degree in Materials Science or a related area and secure acceptance from a faculty supervisor before admission. Graduates are prepared for academic or industrial research careers in materials-focused fields. The programme normally takes about four years of full-time study to complete, with a single intake each September and tuition charged at the university's flat annual doctoral rate.
