Program overview
The PhD in Physics is focused on research activities, complemented by a few advanced courses, which examine the fundamental and applied concepts of either physics or biomedical physics. Our researchers have expertise in theoretical and experimental condensed matter physics including quantum- and nano- materials, human biomedical physics, molecular biophysics, theoretical particle physics, laser optics and photonics, molecular modeling/computational physics and physics education and cultivate strong student-supervisor relationships. Many of us are members of various research centres that promote interdisciplinary collaborations in nano-, molecular and life sciences. Our Department has state of the art facilities for medical imaging, molecular biophysics, optical spectroscopy, photonics and low-temperature transport measurements, among others.

Tuition & funding
Tuition fees
The tuition fees of the program may differ depending on your student status. To estimate the cost of your education at Concordia, go through five (5) easy steps.
Awards and funding
Funding packages are generally available for students in thesis-based programs. They come in the form of awards, teaching and research assistantships are offered at the time of admission to most students to allow them to focus on their research and studies. Research and thesis-based students are automatically considered for all entrance graduate awards when they apply to Concordia, provided they meet eligibility criteria. No separate application is required.
The Quebec and Canadian governments offer a number of competitive graduate scholarships. We encourage you to apply for these awards at the same time you are preparing your application.
