Program overview
The PhD in the Individualized Program (INDI) gives you the opportunity to design your own research goals in areas not covered by existing graduate programs and explore topics outside the normal boundaries of research and creation. Under the mentorship of a supervisory committee, you will have access to resources across faculties, integrate concepts and methodologies from various disciplines, and develop innovative solutions to your most critical challenges. Join a diverse community of students and experience the best Montreal has to offer as a hub for innovation and culture. Benefit from a comprehensive set of research units in areas as diverse as game studies and design, preventative health and synthetic biology, and build a tailored program to find success in a variety of professional careers in and outside of academia.
