Program details

Overview

This PhD develops advanced research expertise in chemical engineering, focusing on the design, modelling, and optimization of industrial processes. Students conduct original research across domains including biochemical engineering, catalysis, environmental engineering, and polymer processing. The programme has an estimated full-time duration of four years, with a minimum residency of six consecutive sessions, and must be pursued full-time. Applicants require a master's degree in chemical engineering or an equivalent qualification and must secure written confirmation from a research supervisor before admission. French and English proficiency are not formal conditions of admission, though the university notes that students may face difficulties without adequate competency in both languages given the bilingual nature of course materials and literature. The programme culminates in an original doctoral thesis, evaluated by at least four examiners and defended publicly.
