Industrial Engineering (PhD)
Program overview
Concordia's new PhD program in Industrial Engineering is one of only two such programs currently offered in Quebec. It is a thesis-based degree that looks at various areas of research, including transportation systems, supply chain management, stochastic optimization, quality control, revenue management and lean systems design. The program combines theoretical and research frameworks, through which you will gain the knowledge and research experience necessary for the design and operation of innovative systems. You will have access to state-of-the-art laboratories and established research centres in a department that promotes interdisciplinary research. Completion of a doctoral thesis in a field of your choice is required. With an international reputation and world-class programs, our department is at the forefront of research and graduate training in Canada.

Tuition & funding
Tuition and fees
Tuition and fees of the program may depend on your student status, among other key factors. Estimate these costs based on the most common situations.
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.
