This PhD offers advanced research training in civil engineering across three specializations: structures and materials, geotechnics, and water and the environment. Students conduct original research using laboratories equipped with current testing and measurement technology, working under the supervision of a faculty member secured before admission. The programme has an estimated full-time duration of four years and must be pursued on a full-time basis. Applicants require a Master of Science degree or an equivalent diploma, along with three letters of evaluation, a curriculum vitae, and a motivation letter. Admission also requires demonstrated proficiency in French or English, evidenced through a recognized language test. The doctoral thesis, developed through original research and defended publicly, is the primary requirement for graduation, preparing students for research and engineering careers in structural, geotechnical, or water and environmental engineering.
