Doctor of Philosophy
In the doctoral program, students are required to pass a comprehensive qualifying
examination in the geological sciences. The PhD program can be under
Division 3 (Engineering) or Division 4 (Science).
The program in Division 3 consists of four term-length courses plus a thesis.
The program in Division 4 consists of a thesis only as Division 4 does not specify any course requirements
although the supervisor or comprehensive exam committee may specify certain mandatory courses in support of the thesis.

How To Apply
Please look at this web site and direct your enquiry to a specific faculty member.
Each faculty member will have their own idea of whether or not they will be accepting
students. In addition, each applicant's funding options will be different, so it is a
good idea to contact potential advisors first.
Then, if the faculty member approves, an application can be submitted.
Queen's University graduate
application system is online here.
There will be a non-refundable full application fee of
$105.00 CAN for each application to a program. When applying online, applicants
must pay the application fee using a MasterCard or Visa credit card. Those applying
with a paper application must submit with that paper application a certified cheque
or money order of $105.00 CAN, payable to Queen's University. (This type of
application will only be accepted by those people who are unable to use Visa or
MasterCard electronically because of the lack of availability of this service in
their area.). The electronic online application system must be accessed by all other applicants.
