Overview
The PhD in Environmental Sciences is offered through the School of Environmental Sciences across three research areas: Earth and Atmospheric Science, Ecosystem Science and Biodiversity, and Plant and Environmental Health. Students complete research-based study alongside faculty, gaining training in laboratory and field techniques and in scientific writing and oral communication. Optional collaborative specializations are available in International Development, One Health, and Toxicology. Research infrastructure includes the CREATE Climate-Smart Soils program, an aquatic ecotoxicology facility, the university's insect collection, and the Honey Bee Research Centre. Full-time study is nominally completed in four years, with a part-time option available. Admission is generally restricted to applicants with a recognized MSc degree in a related field and a minimum academic standing of A- (80% or higher); in exceptional cases direct entry from an honours BSc is possible. Delivery is on campus, with Fall, Winter and Summer admission.
