Program details
Overview
This PhD trains high-level specialists in microbiology, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, inflammation and immunology. The program comprises 90 credits and has an estimated full-time duration of four years, leading to the Philosophiae Doctor (Ph.D.) credential. Students carry out original research in ultramodern laboratories equipped for proteomics, genomics, microscopy and diagnostic test development, and the program ranks third among the sixteen Canadian universities offering this discipline. Individual courses may be delivered at a distance, though full-time on-campus attendance is required overall. Admission requires securing a research supervisor in advance, since study is centred on an individually directed thesis project. Reading comprehension of both French and English is important for success, given that scientific literature in the field is published in both languages.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:2.67 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a Master's degree in microbiology-immunology or a related field, such as cellular and molecular biology or neurobiology, with a minimum GPA of 2.67/4.33. Before admission, candidates must secure a professor willing to supervise their research, a mandatory step. Required documents include a curriculum vitae, a letter of motivation, a research proposal, written confirmation from the supervisor, and three letters of appreciation.
