The major emphasis in the PhD program is on the preparation of an acceptable thesis. There are no specific course requirements other than POPM*6100 Seminar which must be completed once. PhD students who have taken the course as an MSc student will not be required to take the POPM*6100 seminar course again.
A PhD program is offered in the fields of Epidemiology and Public Health. Admission into this program is usually granted to holders of an MSc or MPH degree who have demonstrated superior performance, or to master's students who have not completed their program but wish to transfer to the PhD program and have performed exceptionally well in courses, shown exceptional aptitude and skill in research, and whose research is suitable for expansion to the doctoral level. For transfer, a thesis proposal and strongly supportive letters of reference are required. Infrequently, well qualified DVM or honours degree holders may be accepted directly into the PhD program. All applicants should submit a one-page statement of research interests and career goals to assist in the identification of a faculty advisor who has the funding necessary to support the thesis research.
