PhD in Doctorat en chimie

This doctoral program (PhD) in chemistry leads to a 90-credit degree following a thesis pathway, delivered full-time on the Montreal and MIL campuses. It trains high-level scientific researchers across all domains of chemistry, including environmental, energy, organic, inorganic, physical, and theoretical chemistry. Students complete one or two advanced chemistry courses, pass a comprehensive examination, present a mid-program seminar, and defend a doctoral thesis before a jury. Students join a research group at the outset of the program and work independently in laboratories, supported by the personalized mentoring of a thesis committee throughout their studies. Entry is available through several routes, including a North American master's degree, a European M2 master's degree, direct entry after one year of master's study, or, for candidates with an excellent academic record and research experience, direct entry after a bachelor's degree. Graduates typically pursue careers in academic or industrial chemistry research.
