Program details
Overview
Pharmacy at the University of Waterloo leads to a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), a research-intensive, thesis-based doctoral degree offered on the Kitchener campus. Students conduct leading-edge research, applying and generating scientific knowledge in pharmacy-related fields, and engage in collaborative discovery with faculty. Admission normally requires a 78% overall standing in a two-year Master of Science (MSc) or equivalent degree in a relevant field, together with three references, of which at least two must be academic; a thesis-based MSc is typically expected, though case-by-case equivalency may be considered. The program is delivered on campus and runs full-time over 48 months, with admission available for the Fall, Winter, and Spring terms. Graduates are prepared for careers in academia or research and development.
