Chemical Engineering - PhD

Curriculum

PhD

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program requires the successful completion of four one-term graduate courses, a candidacy examination within 16 months from initial registration and a research dissertation based on original research in the area of water/wastewater and food treatment technologies, or polymer and process engineering. At least two of the required four courses must be taken at Ryerson. Your dissertation supervisor must approve the course selections. This is confirmed through a Program of Study agreement between you and your supervisor, with the approval of the director. You are expected to commence working on the dissertation upon registration in the program. The core aspect of the program is the successful defence of the doctoral dissertation containing original contributions to knowledge at both Program and School of Graduate Studies oral examinations.
