The PhD in Sociology at the University of Waterloo, offered through the Faculty of Arts, combines sociological theory with research training across four fields: crime, law, and security; knowledge, education, and digital culture; migration, borders, and transnationalism; and social inequality and public policy. Students undertake original research culminating in a doctoral dissertation, working with faculty active in these areas. The program is full-time and delivered on-campus over four years (48 months), with admission in the Fall term. Graduates are prepared for careers inside and outside academia, including policy development, law, and research analysis roles. Applicants typically hold a master's degree in sociology or an equivalent field before proceeding to the doctoral research and dissertation stage of the program.
