Overview

This research-intensive PhD program brings together researchers from the faculty of science at UPEI to tackle the chemistry, physics, and biology of molecules big and small.

The Molecular and Macromolecular Sciences program at University of Prince Edward Island involves graduate-level courses, a dissertation, candidacy examination and final oral defense while developing unique connections to the business aspects of the growing field.

Features

While the focus is on developing an expertise in the chemistry and/or physics of molecules and macromolecules, students will also engage in three MBA-level business courses key to applying scientific concepts and principles in the business world.

Students will also participate in a capstone experience where they will be paired with a company to integrate their trans-discipline knowledge.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Students will be required to take three (3) graduate-level courses in Molecular and Macromolecular Sciences, three (3) graduate-level courses in business, and one (1) capstone course that integrates science and business components.

Each student must complete a minimum of three (3) courses within the first 18 months of the degree, which may be a combination of the science and business requirements but must include at least one MMS and one business course.

In addition, students should have started their capstone project, although completion of this project is not a requirement for this period.
