Program details

Overview

The PhD in Theoretical and Computational Science is a four-year program combining coursework with a thesis based on original research. Students must pass written and oral comprehensive examinations within the first two years of the program before proceeding to thesis research, which forms the most significant component of the degree. Students with a master's degree in mathematics and a strong academic record are typically well prepared to enter directly into the program. The program is delivered in person over a nominal four-year period, with intakes in the Summer, Fall, and Winter terms. Graduates are prepared for research and academic careers in theoretical and computational science, as well as applied roles in industry and government.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: The first step for prospective students is to select a potential supervisor and, in consultation with the supervisor, organise a research plan including a possible thesis topic before admission to the program. Students with an MSc in mathematics and a strong academic record are typically well-prepared to enter the PhD program directly.
