| Description: |
The Ph.D. program trains qualified individuals for careers in research, development, and teaching. The Ph.D. degree is considered a research degree and it is awarded primarily for creative work and originality. Stress is laid on the development of independent research. Upon completion of the program, the successful student will not only have contributed to the field of knowledge, but will also have developed skills as an independent, professional scientist. A series of graduate courses is required, but the remainder of the program is flexible and can be tuned to meet the specific needs of the student. Most students require four to five years study to complete the Ph.D. degree. Applicants with a Bachelor's degree may apply directly to the Ph.D. program; an M.Sc. degree is not an admissions requirement. |

The minimum academic standard for admission to the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree programs is normally a high second-class standing (CGPA > 3.00). Applicants from other institutions should have an academic background equivalent to that of a McGill graduate in the Honours/Major programs in Chemistry or related fields such as Physics or Biochemistry. If possible, candidates should specify the field of research in which they are interested.
