The PhD in Land Use Planning and Regional Development examines the organization of space and the development of cities and regions. Students conduct original doctoral research addressing planning and regional-development issues, supported by coursework and a faculty research director confirmed before admission. 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 land use planning and regional development or an equivalent qualification, with a cumulative or graduation average of at least 3.33 out of 4.33. Instruction and examinations are conducted in French; non-francophone applicants must meet a minimum score on the TCF French-proficiency test, and all candidates must demonstrate English comprehension through the Versant English Placement Test or an equivalent measure before graduating. The programme admits students in the fall and winter sessions and prepares graduates for research and senior planning roles in government, consulting, and academia.
