Program details
Overview
The PhD in Chemistry at Western University is a thesis-based, full-time research degree offered by the Department of Chemistry, organized around four main research themes: Chemical Biology and Biomaterials; Synthesis, Catalysis and Molecular Materials; Materials: Design, Function and Characterization; and Theory and Computation. Students normally enter with a thesis-based MSc in chemistry or a related discipline, completing the PhD in 12 terms (four years); direct entry from an outstanding BSc extends the program to 15 terms (five years). The program emphasizes original research culminating in a doctoral thesis, supported by strong letters of recommendation and prior research experience from previous degrees. Domestic applicants may apply for Fall, Winter, or Summer entry, with international applicants facing separate deadlines for the same intakes. The program prepares graduates for research careers in academia, industry, and government across the physical and life sciences.
