PhD in Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering is a Doctor of Philosophy offered by Toronto Metropolitan University's Department of Civil Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science. The programme prepares graduate students for research careers addressing infrastructure challenges such as transportation systems, water systems and structural engineering, with specialization streams in environmental, geomatics, structural and transportation engineering. Students may also pursue an international double-degree option, studying abroad as part of the programme. Admission requires a master's degree in civil engineering or a related applied science field. Doctoral candidates connect with a faculty supervisor before applying and submit a written statement outlining their research interests, along with academic references and transcripts, through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre. The programme is offered full-time and part-time. Graduates are prepared for research and academic careers as well as industrial research roles in civil engineering.
