Program details

Overview

The Ph.D. in Civil Engineering is offered by RMC's Department of Civil Engineering in Kingston, Ontario. Department members conduct research across structural engineering, geotechnical engineering and environmental engineering, and the institution is accredited to award B.Eng., M.Eng., M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in the field. Candidates for the Ph.D. are admitted under RMC's general graduate admission requirements and normally hold a Master's degree by thesis, or its equivalent, in a related field. The doctoral programme normally comprises at least three graduate-level lecture courses beyond those completed at the Master's level, plus a doctoral thesis, with the specific course load determined by the student's prior Master's coursework and research focus. Candidates undertake original research under faculty supervision, culminating in a written dissertation and its defence. The programme is delivered on RMC's Kingston campus and is open to both military and civilian applicants pursuing advanced study in structural, geotechnical or environmental engineering.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission follows RMC's general graduate requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy: applicants normally hold a Master's degree by thesis, or its recognized equivalent, in a field closely related to civil engineering, from a recognized university. Full-time Master's students who have completed at least one full year of full-time enrolment with no less than 80% in each course may instead apply for direct admission from the Master's programme, with supervisor endorsement and successful completion of a transfer examination. Applicants whose first language is neither English nor French, or whose prior education was not conducted in English, must provide proof of their ability to study in the language of instruction, such as an official language test result.
