What will I learn?

Earth & Space Science is a multidisciplinary research program associated with the Centre for Research in Earth & Space Science (CRESS). The graduate program provides postgraduate instruction and research experience for graduate students working towards either MSc or PhD degrees. You will join a group of students from a wide range of backgrounds, including engineering, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and computer science. Opportunities for interdisciplinary research arise partly due to the program’s proximity to the departments of Physics & Astronomy, Engineering, and part of the Chemistry department.Research laboratories include world-leading facilities for space engineering and planetary exploration, remote sensing, high-precision positioning and navigation, geospatial information technology, atmospheric measurements, simulations and climate modelling.

Entry requirements

For international students

Graduates with a masters degree in chemistry, physics, pure or applied mathematics, astronomy, engineering, or engineering physics from a recognized university, may be admitted as candidates (PhD I) in a program leading to the PhD degree. On the average, candidates with a BSc degree, or equivalent, may expect to spend three to five years to complete the requirements for the PhD degree. Graduates with an honours degree in chemistry, physics, pure or applied mathematics, astronomy, engineering, or engineering physics may be considered for admission to the program leading to the PhD degree. However, such graduates must first register as candidates for the MSc degree. If their progress is satisfactory they may be transferred into the PhD program and advanced in status to candidates (PhD I) for the PhD degree, after one year, and on the recommendation of their Research Supervisor and the Program Director.
