Program details

Overview

The PhD program in Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry prepares students to become experts in a specific research area within the discipline, serving as preparation for academic careers. Research is organized around eight departmental clusters: Biomolecular and Biomedical Engineering, Bioprocess Engineering, Chemical and Materials Process Engineering, Engineering Informatics, Environmental Science and Engineering, Pulp and Paper, Surface and Interface Engineering, and Sustainable Energy. Students pursue advanced coursework alongside an independent research program that culminates in a dissertation defended before a supervisory committee. The standard route follows completion of a research-based master's degree, with a direct-entry option available from a bachelor's degree for exceptionally qualified applicants. Instruction and research are delivered in person at the University of Toronto's St. George campus, drawing on departmental laboratories and collaborative ties across the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Standard entry to the PhD requires a research master's degree in engineering or the physical, chemical or biological sciences with a B+ (or equivalent) overall average, together with evidence of strong scientific and intellectual ability shown through prior research, academic standing, initiative and publication record. Direct entry from a bachelor's degree is available to exceptional applicants. Standardized English-language test requirements are not stated on the program's own admissions page; general School of Graduate Studies regulations apply.
