The Doctor of Philosophy in the Study of Religion, offered through the University of Toronto's Department for the Study of Religion, is organized around ten fields of interdisciplinary religious studies, including Buddhist, Islamic, and Jewish Studies, with each student's program constructed individually to match their interests. Coursework totals a minimum of 4.0 full-course equivalents, including a year-long proseminar, one Gateway Seminar, and two additional Religion courses, plus a professionalization seminar. Students must demonstrate reading knowledge of at least two languages beyond English relevant to their research. Candidates complete General Examinations comprising two four-hour written components and a two-hour oral component by the end of Year 3, matched with at least three faculty supervisors, then submit a thesis proposal within three months and present at a department colloquium before the doctoral defence. The program is delivered in person and normally takes four years of full-time study, with a maximum time limit of six years.
