PhD in Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering is a Doctor of Philosophy offered by Toronto Metropolitan University's Department of Chemical Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science. The programme covers research areas including green biofuels, plastics and nano-fibres, medical devices, sensors and actuators, and water and food treatment, supported by access to specialized laboratories for experimental and computational research. Admission requires a master's degree in chemical engineering or a related applied science field. Doctoral candidates connect with a faculty supervisor before applying and submit a statement of interest outlining their research direction alongside academic references and transcripts through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre. The programme is offered on a full-time or part-time basis across three specializations. Graduates are prepared for research, academic and industrial careers addressing environmental sustainability, healthcare and manufacturing challenges in chemical engineering.
