About the course

The Doctor of Philosophy degree in Geology requires original research in a specific area or areas of the geosciences. The successful candidate must demonstrate a breadth of understanding in the geosciences, as well as a depth of understanding in the chosen areas of emphases. Potential students must show an ability to do creative research. This research should be carried out during a significant period of time (i.e., during at least one year or three semesters in residence). Thus, each successful PhD candidate will produce a significant piece of original research, presented in a written dissertation and defended in an oral examination. This work should be of such scope and quality that more than one peer-reviewed publication can be derived from it. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
