The PhD in Biology at the University of Windsor is a research-intensive program that culminates in the presentation and defence of a dissertation based on original, independent research. Students complete a minimum of three graduate courses in addition to their research and are required to present at departmental seminars throughout the program. Applicants must submit a Statement of Research Interest Form describing their intended area of study. Full-time completion typically takes three to five years; students who already hold a recognized Master's degree (MSc) may complete the program in a minimum of two years. Admission normally requires a bachelor's degree from a recognized university, and applicants whose first language is not English must meet a minimum English-proficiency requirement of TOEFL iBT 83, IELTS 6.5, or PTE Academic 65.
