Program details

Overview

This program is a research doctorate (Ph.D.) in Computer Science at the Universite de Sherbrooke, delivered on the university's main Sherbrooke campus with fall, winter, and summer admission terms. The 90-credit, full-time curriculum offers a pathway in computer science, a pathway in bioinformatics, and a pathway in imaging and digital media, and it deepens and keeps current a candidate's knowledge within a chosen area of specialization. Students learn to independently formulate and understand research problems in their domain, acquire training as researchers, take on independent responsibility for research activities under recognized ethical and integrity standards, and contribute to advancing knowledge in their field. The common core covers foundational doctoral research activities shared across pathways, followed by specialization coursework and a doctoral thesis representing an original research contribution. The program develops candidates' ability to communicate their research results effectively, preparing graduates for research careers in academia, industry, or specialized technical roles in computing, bioinformatics, or digital imaging and media.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Admission requires a master's degree in sciences or engineering (or equivalent); supplementary preparatory coursework is required if the applicant's foundational training is judged insufficient. On the recommendation of the Department of Computer Science's graduate studies committee, holders of an exceptional bachelor's degree in sciences or engineering may be admitted subject to completing 30 credits of preparatory graduate coursework. Candidates must first secure confirmation that a qualified professor agrees to supervise their research.
