PhD in Biological Sciences in Windsor Canada | University of Windsor

Our doctoral program provides avenues for in-depth, self-directed research within the biological sciences. Candidates undertake a research initiative under faculty guidance spanning three to five years (with a two-year minimum for those possessing an accredited MSc), concluding with a dissertation defense. Throughout this period, participants complete at least two advanced courses, fulfill teaching assistant responsibilities in undergraduate classes, and engage in seminar discussions. Those transitioning from an MSc program must complete one master's-level course prior to transferring and two additional courses during their doctoral studies.
