Entry requirements
Calendar entry for this degree: Applicants are accepted under the general regulations of the School of Graduate Studies. The program involves three stages: preparation for research (course requirements and qualifying examinations), certification that the preparation is adequate (thesis prospectus examination) and thesis research. Course Requirements The student, in consultation with the supervisor, must propose a selection of courses which ensures exposure to multiple branches of mathematics and/or statistics and which provides the student with a depth of knowledge commensurate with a Ph.D. holder in mathematics or statistics. This proposal will consist of a minimum of nine one term graduate courses and may include graduate courses taken during a Master’s program at Queen’s or elsewhere. The specific courses and number of courses a student will be required to take during their doctoral studies will depend on their field of study and their background preparation to date. Qualifying Examinations Written examinations will assess the student’s knowledge of their broad research area and also core areas of mathematics and/or statistics related to that area. Thesis Prospectus Examination An oral examination, based on a research proposal written by the candidate, will evaluate the quality, significance and feasibility of the student’s proposed research and the competence of the student to carry out that research. For complete details on all requirements for the doctoral degree consult our Graduate Programs and Guidelines . || General graduate admission is governed by the School of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs: applicants normally need a four-year bachelor's degree (or a master's for doctoral entry), official transcripts and two letters of recommendation, and must meet the minimum scores set by the individual program.

A final grade of 80% or more in ESLA 140 or ESLA 150 from Queen's University's English for Academic Purposes Program, achieved at the time of application, may also remove the test requirement.
