The PhD in Biology (Doctorat en biologie) at Universite de Sherbrooke is a 90-credit research doctorate leading to the Philosophiae Doctor degree, offered full-time on the Sherbrooke campus. It has two streams: a Biology stream covering molecular and cellular biology, ecology, microbiology and bioinformatics, and an interdisciplinary Environment stream combining biology training with an environmental research project. The curriculum centres on a research proposal, a comprehensive exam, four research-activity blocks and a doctoral thesis, supplemented by optional courses such as advanced statistics, genomics, ecology and scientific communication. Students conduct original research under a faculty supervisor within the Department of Biology, which is active in molecular and cellular biology, terrestrial ecology and microbiology-biotechnology, including through the Centre de recherche en ecologie terrestre. The program admits at the Fall, Winter and Summer terms under a regular or partnership full-time study regime.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a master's degree (2nd cycle) in biochemistry, bioinformatics, biological sciences, or an equivalent field. Candidates holding only a bachelor's degree (1st cycle) in these fields may be admitted if they have a cumulative GPA of at least 4.0 on a 4.3 scale (or an equivalent academic record) and an exceptional file as judged by the Biology Department's graduate studies committee; such candidates must complete 30 additional credits of preparatory coursework. Candidates applying to the interdisciplinary Environment stream must propose an interdisciplinary environmental research project. All applicants must secure a faculty supervisor before admission. Required documents include official transcripts, an optional but recommended CV, and three confidential recommendation reports submitted from professional email addresses.
