General description
The PhD program in Electrical and Computer Engineering aims to provide students with the highest possible level of knowledge in their areas of specialization.
The objectives of the PhD program in Electrical and Computer Engineering are to provide students with the highest possible level of knowledge in their areas of specialization. This will be achieved through the advancement of independent initiatives, critical thinking, methodological analysis, creative problem solving and practical design synthesis. This, in turn, will prepare graduates for a career in industry, government research laboratories or academia. During their careers as academics, they must be able to train the next generation of global research scientists and also actively participate in independent and collaborative research.
All applicants must provide evidence of their oral and written proficiency in English.
Applicants who meet all admission requirements, including English proficiency, at the time of application will receive first priority consideration.
We encourage applicants to register for an English language proficiency test before the application deadline.
Doctoral students will earn their degree through a combination of advanced coursework, independent research, research seminars, required professional workshops, conference presentations, peer-reviewed research publications, and a novel research dissertation.
