The PhD in Biology trains researchers to address major challenges facing society, including climate change, biodiversity conservation, natural resource management, and biotechnology development. Students complete original doctoral research under faculty supervision in areas spanning cell and molecular biology, animal physiology, ecology, marine and freshwater systems, plant biology, and conservation. The 90-credit programme is estimated to take four years of full-time study and culminates in a thesis. Applicants must hold a master's degree in biology or an equivalent qualification, with a cumulative graduate average of at least 3.2 out of 4.33, and must confirm a faculty research director before admission; three letters of appreciation are required with the application. Instruction is delivered in French, and the ability to read and understand texts in French and English is necessary to complete the programme. The programme admits students in the fall, winter, and summer sessions.
