Program details
Overview
The Doctorate in Remote Sensing (Ph.D.) at Universite de Sherbrooke is a 90-credit research doctorate delivered from the main Sherbrooke campus, with admission in fall, winter and summer terms. It trains researchers to critically analyze published scientific results in remote sensing and geomatics, independently carry out every stage of an original research project, and communicate findings in writing and orally. Areas of study include the relationships between detected targets and electromagnetic radiation measured by sensors, integration of remote-sensing data into physical-environment models, and interdisciplinary approaches to environmental problems in geophysics. The 84 mandatory credits cover a methodological seminar, a comprehensive general examination, and staged thesis-research activities (project definition, data collection and analysis, and a progress report) culminating in thesis submission and defence, alongside optional credits. Applicants must arrange faculty supervision and submit a proposed research project description before admission.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.20 / 4.3
Admission Requirements: A master's degree in remote sensing, geodetic sciences, geography, or an equivalent qualification in a related discipline such as pure and applied sciences or social sciences, with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.2 on a 4.3 scale, or equivalent academic standing. Required documents include official transcripts and diplomas, two reference letters (waived for graduates of Universite de Sherbrooke's Master's in Applied Geomatics and Remote Sensing), a curriculum vitae, a 3-to-5-page description of the proposed research project, a copy of the applicant's master's thesis or a published article, and a letter from the prospective supervisor confirming their commitment to direct the research.
