Ph.D. Computer Science

The Ph.D. program requires course work, a single-authored scientific paper , an oral candidacy exam, and submission and successful defense of a thesis. The thesis must be an original work making a significant contribution to knowledge in or understanding of the field of study, and include material worthy of publication.

The Ph.D. program is a full-time program normally taking approximately four years (for an M.Sc. graduate). A student transferring from the M.Sc. program would take up to a year longer.
