The Doctorate in Physical Activity Sciences (Ph.D.) at Universite de Sherbrooke is a 90-credit research doctorate delivered on the main Sherbrooke campus, with admission in fall, winter and summer terms. Described by the university as the first doctoral programme in physical activity sciences in Quebec built around an interdisciplinary training goal, it prepares graduates to specialize in a specific research area while developing the ability to situate their work within an interdisciplinary perspective and to manage cross-sector research teams. The programme follows a structured pathway of clearly defined stages and requires full-time study with an on-campus residency of six terms during the first three years. Admission normally requires a research-type master's degree in physical activity sciences or a related discipline; candidates whose master's is more than five years old, or is a coursework or professional degree, must demonstrate research achievements such as work experience and publication involvement, and may be required to complete research-methodology preparation.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.20 / 4.3
Admission Requirements: A research-type master's degree in physical activity sciences or a related discipline, with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.2 on a 4.3 scale. If the master's degree was completed more than five years earlier, or is a coursework or professional-type degree, the candidate must demonstrate research achievements (such as research work experience and involvement in scientific publications) and may be required to complete research-methodology upgrading. Applicants must obtain assurance that a professor will supervise their research before admission. Candidates must show strong French proficiency, proven either by exemption or by reaching level C1 (500/699 or higher) across all four skills on a recognized test, and good English comprehension to access scientific literature. Required documents include a reference letter from the master's thesis supervisor assessing the candidate's English proficiency, a letter from the prospective doctoral supervisor, a motivation letter of up to three pages, a curriculum vitae, and, if required, proof of French-language test results. Full-time study requires an on-campus residency of six terms during the first three years.
