The PhD Geography program is a full-time, research degree that emphasizes the development of a self-motivated and disciplined approach to learning.

Skills of critical analysis, of abstraction, of interpretation, and of clear oral and written presentation are essential. The student is expected to develop and demonstrate these qualities in an original, scholarly dissertation.

Program Overview

Our program structure is neither as formally-structured as that in many American departments nor as informal as has been common in Europe.

The first year is designed to prepare students for readings, seminar courses, the formulation of a research topic, and the Comprehensive Examination.

Spring Review:

An oral review and a written report is required of all PhD students in the spring of their first year. The purpose is to allow students:

• To establish a Committee;
• To set the dates of major milestones; and,
• To discuss their research plans with their Committee.

Second year

Comprehensive Examination

A Comprehensive Examination is required of all PhD students. It is designed to test a student’s understanding of the chosen field of study as a whole and the student’s preparation for the thesis research to follow. Normally, it will be held after completion of all required coursework, and is in addition to any course examinations.

According to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, students are expected to complete their Comprehensive Examination within 24 months from the date of initial registration.

The Comprehensive Examination consists of:

• Written examinations at the discretion of the students’ Committee
• An oral examination after the written papers

Formal Thesis Proposal

A formal thesis proposal is required of all PhD students. It is submitted a few months after successful completion of the Comprehensive Examination, but in some cases, it is available at the time of that Examination.

Third and later years

When the Comprehensive Examination has been passed and the Formal Thesis Proposal has been accepted, the student will be admitted to Candidacy. Candidacy also requires completion of the residency period and of all required coursework.

According to the Faculty of Graduate Studies, students are expected to be admitted to Candidacy within 36 months from the date of initial registration. If you do not meet this requirement, you must apply for an extension.

From then on, the candidate’s time will then be devoted to research and writing.

Coursework requirements

In addition to their thesis, students are required to complete:

• A minimum of 9 credits of coursework at 500-level or above
• This must include either GEOB 500 or GEOG 520, unless already completed as part of the MA or MSc program at UBC Geography.

Your thesis’ length should not exceed 350 pages of text. Normally, a Thesis is read first by the Candidate´s Supervisor, who discusses early drafts with the student. Well before submission of the final draft, the Thesis is circulated for comment and suggestions to the other members of the Candidate´s Supervisory Committee. Only when all members of the Supervisory Committee have read a draft of the Thesis and a majority have accepted it for Doctoral Oral Examination should the final version be presented.

For detailed information, please review the Thesis Preparation and Submission Guide.

Doctoral oral examination

All Doctoral students must defend their theses before they can graduate.

The purposes of the Doctoral Oral Examination are to:

• Ensure that the Candidate is able to present and defend the thesis and its underlying assumptions, methodology, results, and conclusions in a manner consistent with the doctoral degree being sought;
• Communicate the results of the work to the campus community.

For detailed information, please review the Doctoral Oral Examination Guide.

• the core course GGR1110H
• two (2) half-credit courses in geography
• one (1) half-credit course which must be taken outside the department
• two (2) half-credit courses in any subject

Annual Progress Reports

The supervisory committee must meet at least once per academic year to review the student’s progress and plans for the following year.

Comprehensive Exam

Students will take a written and oral comprehensive exam between June of year one and no later than December of year two. See the  Examinations  page for further details. 

Proposal Exam

Students will defend a research proposal before their supervisory committee between June of year two and no later than September of year three. See the  Examinations  page for further details. 

The department requires students to achieve candidacy by the end of year two. A student can achieve PhD Candidacy and receive a notation on their transcript once they have completed three requirements: coursework, comprehensive exam, and proposal exam. School of Graduate Studies policy requires that candidacy is achieved by the end of year three.

Thesis Defense Exam

The thesis shall constitute a significant contribution to the knowledge of the field and must be based on original research conducted while registered for the PhD program. The topic for the thesis will have been approved at the proposal defense. The completed PhD thesis will be examined in a Departmental Thesis Examination. The examination committee consists of the supervisory committee. One or more additional members can be from outside the Department of Geography & Planning if required.  

See the  Examinations  page for further details. 

Final Oral Exam

The Final Oral Examination is the capstone experience of the PhD program. Students will defend their dissertation before an Examination Committee. In addition to the supervisor and other members of the supervisory committee, the Examination Committee will include an appraiser (external to the University), at least one graduate faculty member who has not been closely involved in the supervision of the thesis, and a chair designated by the School of Graduate Studies.

Fully funded PhD position at the University of Guelph

Monitoring arctic-boreal lakes using swot altimetry and sar remote sensing.

Canada’s Arctic and Boreal regions are covered by lakes that range from seasonally flooded wetlands, ponds and shallow lakes to large, deep lakes. These water bodies collectively cover a large percentage of the total land surface play a critical role carbon cycling and other Earth surface processes. Although these lakes are sensitive to a warming climate, Canada does not currently have a program to monitor them and model future changes. With funding from the Canadian Space Agency, Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Guelph are collaborating on a research program in the western Canadian Arctic that integrates field-based monitoring with aerial and satellite-based observations and a hydrologic lake model to improve our understanding of the current and future state of Arctic lakes.

The Department of Geography, Environment and Geomatics at the University of Guelph is currently recruiting 1 PhD student (starting in Fall 2021) under this project to study water extent and surface elevation dynamics of Arctic lakes using observations from various airborne and satellite platforms, including AirSWOT, Sentinel-3, the upcoming SWOT mission and the RADARSAT Constellation Mission. The successful applicant must have a M.Sc. in GIS, remote sensing, physical geography, hydrology, environmental sciences, or a related field. Demonstrated experience in the application of remote sensing for environmental mapping and monitoring (e.g., through past publications and/or project work) is essential. Experience with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) remote sensing, interferometry and/or radar altimetry is an asset.

Interested candidates are encouraged to send a current CV, unofficial transcripts and a statement of interest to Dr. Aaron Berg ([email protected]) and Dr. Ben DeVries ([email protected]). Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled.

Forestry graduate students learn from a dynamic and diverse group of researchers who educate and communicate how forests and the products that are created from them contribute to the well-being of all living things. The health and sustainability of forests and the people who depend on them underlies everything we do. We are among the best institutions globally in forest-related education and research and are also unique in the breadth of expertise we possess, which allows us to integrate new knowledge across many disciplines.

PhD in Forestry students can be found all over the world; they are important ambassadors for UBC Forestry and demonstrate just how diverse and international in scope the research is that is undertaken in our Faculty. We have approximately 130 doctoral students in any given year, which is about 40% of our total Forestry graduate student population. In addition to being part of the Faculty of Forestry, PhD students are also considered members of one of our three Faculty departments, based on their supervisor's affiliation.

For specific program requirements, please refer to the departmental program website

What makes the program unique?

The Faculty of Forestry offers excellent courses and cutting edge research across a spectrum of disciplines related to forestry, and opportunities for interdisciplinary learning. Graduate students work with leading scientists in state-of-the-art facilities within the Forest Sciences Centre and at any of two research forests. 

We are one of the largest graduate units on campus, with over 300 students enrolled in our 7 degree programs. We attract students from around the world, with over 40 countries represented in our community. Given the global nature of modern forestry, the experience our students gain by working with colleagues from around the world is a subtle but effective means of creating the global citizens that UBC aspires to produce.

As a student at UBC, I also have to opportunity to interact and work with students and faculty from all over the world. This diversity is incredibly valuable, both personally and professionally.

Christina Howard

Program Structure

The major requirement for the PhD in Forestry is completion of a research dissertation which meets the requirements of the Faculty of Graduate & Post-doctoral Studies.

Supervision

Students in research-based programs usually require a faculty member to function as their thesis supervisor. Please follow the instructions provided by each program whether applicants should contact faculty members.

Instructions regarding thesis supervisor contact for Doctor of Philosophy in Forestry (PhD)

Securing the interest of a prospective faculty supervisor is a vital step in the PhD, MSc and MASc application process, and interest must be confirmed before you submit the online application. Using the prospective supervisor list at , carefully review faculty members whom you consider to be the best match with your research interests. Make a short-list of prospective supervisors and contact them to see if they are accepting new students. Remember that faculty members receive many inquiries, so generic e-mails may not receive a response. Make your correspondence stand out: tell potential supervisors about your background and interests and how this relates to their research area. As part of your conversation with a prospective supervisor, it is important to discuss funding. UBC Forestry requires that supervisors have a minimum funding package planned for the student prior to an Offer of Admission being issued. Your online application should only be submitted after a prospective supervisor has confirmed to you that they are interested in reviewing your application.

Citizenship Verification

Permanent Residents of Canada must provide a clear photocopy of both sides of the Permanent Resident card.

4) Apply Online

Scholarships & awards (merit-based funding)

All applicants are encouraged to review the awards listing to identify potential opportunities to fund their graduate education. The database lists merit-based scholarships and awards and allows for filtering by various criteria, such as domestic vs. international or degree level.

Graduate Research Assistantships (GRA)

Many professors are able to provide Research Assistantships (GRA) from their research grants to support full-time graduate students studying under their supervision. The duties constitute part of the student's graduate degree requirements. A Graduate Research Assistantship is considered a form of fellowship for a period of graduate study and is therefore not covered by a collective agreement. Stipends vary widely, and are dependent on the field of study and the type of research grant from which the assistantship is being funded.

Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTA)

Graduate programs may have Teaching Assistantships available for registered full-time graduate students. Full teaching assistantships involve 12 hours work per week in preparation, lecturing, or laboratory instruction although many graduate programs offer partial TA appointments at less than 12 hours per week. Teaching assistantship rates are set by collective bargaining between the University and the Teaching Assistants' Union .

Graduate Academic Assistantships (GAA)

Academic Assistantships are employment opportunities to perform work that is relevant to the university or to an individual faculty member, but not to support the student’s graduate research and thesis. Wages are considered regular earnings and when paid monthly, include vacation pay.

Financial aid (need-based funding)

Canadian and US applicants may qualify for governmental loans to finance their studies. Please review eligibility and types of loans .

All students may be able to access private sector or bank loans.

Foreign government scholarships

Many foreign governments provide support to their citizens in pursuing education abroad. International applicants should check the various governmental resources in their home country, such as the Department of Education, for available scholarships.

Working while studying

The possibility to pursue work to supplement income may depend on the demands the program has on students. It should be carefully weighed if work leads to prolonged program durations or whether work placements can be meaningfully embedded into a program.

International students enrolled as full-time students with a valid study permit can work on campus for unlimited hours and work off-campus for no more than 20 hours a week.

A good starting point to explore student jobs is the UBC Work Learn program or a Co-Op placement .

Tax credits and RRSP withdrawals

Students with taxable income in Canada may be able to claim federal or provincial tax credits.

Canadian residents with RRSP accounts may be able to use the Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP) which allows students to withdraw amounts from their registered retirement savings plan (RRSPs) to finance full-time training or education for themselves or their partner.

Please review Filing taxes in Canada on the student services website for more information.

Cost Estimator

Applicants have access to the cost estimator to develop a financial plan that takes into account various income sources and expenses.

Career Outcomes

154 students graduated between 2005 and 2013: 2 are in non-salaried situations; for 12 we have no data (based on research conducted between Feb-May 2016). For the remaining 140 graduates:

Just a warning that you may not be able to grasp all the important concepts with just databases, spatial analysis, management issues, and an introduction to GIS. It might look good on your CV, but in all practicality, this program needs more core courses like programming, remote sensing, and CAD.

8. Algonquin College

The GIS Graduate Certificate Program at Algonquin College is a three-semester program with the option for a co-op. Students need a university degree or 2-3 years from a college diploma program to enter the program.

It gives the best of all aspects of GIS – cartographic design, application and modeling, and remote sensing. Classes are offered in the classroom and the lab.

9. Ontario Learns GIS Certificate

You might think I should list each one of these colleges as their own separate number on this list.

…But in reality, they ARE the exact same program .

It’s the GIS diploma in a tin can. Without the prestige as the other GIS certificate programs offered in Ontario, in each of these programs, you’re going to be taking the same eight courses, and you may even be using dated GIS software to top things off.

Here are the courses you are going to get in the Ontario Learns GIS Certificate program: Microsoft Access Specialist, Microsoft Access Expert, Introduction to Geographic Information Systems, Designing/Implementing/Managing a GIS, GIS Software – ArcView, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Remote Sensing and Internet Mapping.

If you eat, sleep and breathe GIS, then you’re not going to enjoy the Ontario Learns GIS certificate program.

The colleges that offer the Ontario Learns GIS Certificate are Humber College , George Brown College , Seneca College , Centennial College , Mohawk College and Durham College .

The Maritimes

The Maritime Provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland) have a bit less to offer in college GIS certificate programs. But it does offer one of the most recognized programs in all of Canada, the Centre of Geographic Sciences (COGS):

• Centre of Geographic Sciences (COGS) Advanced Diploma in Geographic Sciences
• New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) Geographic Information Systems Certificate

1. Centre of Geographic Sciences (COGS)

Employers in the industry know which schools have better reputations, and hire accordingly. COGS has cemented itself in one of the top spots for GIS certification. Its history traces back to 1948.

COGS used to be its own college, then became part of Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC). You might have to move a distance to attend because COGS is located in Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia. But it’s well worth it.

On a scale of 1 to 10, COGS Advanced Diploma in Geographic Sciences is a definite 10. Furthermore, it has a two-year Diploma in Geographic Sciences for those who directly enter from high school and people with unrelated degrees.

2. Dalhousie University

Nova Scotia is home to two incredible GIS diploma programs. As part of the Certificate in Geographic Information Science at Dalhousie University, students must complete 2 mandatory courses (Geoscience Information Management and GIS Applications to Environmental and Geological Science) and must select 2 other courses from a list of others. For example, Space, Place, and GIS course has students learn to use GIS to address land use and site planning issues even in regards to examining legal, privacy, and ethical implications of using GIS data in the public realm.

All courses set the standard of B to complete. But the heart and soul of this program lies in the research project, as independent work from the student. The research project focus is on the methodological and organizational design, the application of appropriate GIS techniques, and the proper reporting of the results.

Dalhousie University has a strong reputation in terms of universities in Canada – it dates back to 1818. This program is no exception as it’s high on the list for teaching students the necessary skills on how to design, manage, and employ methods in Geographic Information Science (GIS).

3. Memorial University (MUN)

Memorial University offers a Diploma in Geographic Information Science (GIScience) located in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Students have to be registered in a Bachelor of Arts or Science Degree program.

What I like most about MUN’s GIScience diploma program is the wealth of knowledge you’ll get for practical GIS applications. This is why the program requires students to complete two instructional field placement courses. Students can apply what they’ve learned in the classroom to real-life situations.

4. New Brunswick Community College (NBCC)

Update: As of 2004, the GIS Post-Diploma Technology Program is no longer part of NBCC.

The New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) GIS Post-Diploma Technology Program used to be all the buzz. Back in 2006, Esri presented the college with an award of excellence for their Post-Diploma in GIS, and college graduates were extremely successful at finding meaningful careers in GIS.

NBCC is quiet as of late, and it’s unclear whether or not their program still exists – as it’s not listed in their college GIS certificate listings.

Hello folks, I’m SHS graduate from Ghana. Am interested in the of GIS. When would this years admission form is gonna be open for applicants. Needs more info.

Hi I am interested in remote sensing and GIS advance program.

I have to study in Canada. I have a graduation diploma and I have to do a Post Graduation.

What about Quebec?

This site is good for me. I will be encouraged to learn more about GIS

I am an graduate of Bachelor of Engineering in Geoinformatics from India. I am having 3 years of industrial experience in India. Currently, I am planning to do a Master degree in GIS related course in Canada. I am mainly doing this course because of the possibilities to get a job related to GIS in Canada. So, can anyone please suggest me courses related to GIS which has the option to work in related field during the course.

Hi Everyone! Does anybody know a scholarship in GIS/Geomatic field to study in Canada. I’m Colombian and looking forward to getting more info. I really appreciate your help community.

Hello, does anybody have any thoughts on the geographic information systems for environmental management certification at U of T’s school of continuing studies? It is not listed above. Although there is a focus towards environmental management, would it still be considered a GIS certification? Thank you.

Howdy! I have a bachelor’s degree in Geology and a double master’s degree in “Applied Environment Science” and “Hydrology, Hydrogeology, and Water resource” with an additional advanced diploma in water and Environmental technology. I would like to get a GIS certification in short term that focuses in my background. Any recommendation? thanks in advance!

Please see our page on GIS certifications – https://gisgeography.com/gis-certification-is-it-worth-it/

The 2 main options are:

• Esri Certification

BCIT’s GIS department offers both an Advanced Certificate (7 courses all online) and an Advanced Diploma (19 courses offered online and on campus).

Hello everyone. First of all, thanks a lot for the post, it’s very helpful. I have a bachelor’s degree in Biology and work for an environmental government agency in my country. I already use GIS tools in my work like a regular user and I like to take 2 years to live in Canada and learn more skills. I think a post degree diploma is better than a Master because of practical skills, while the Master is more academic (and expensive :). Is there any chance for a Biologist with a GIS diploma in Canada built a good career as a GIS technician? Is it dificult to be accepted in a post degree cause I’m a Biologist? I hope this comments became a helpful space and a friendly environment for the Gis community.

There are Masters Degrees in GIS in Canada. For example, Vancouver Island University offers an online MGISA (Master of GIS Applications) and University of Calgary has a MGIS in their Geography department.

is there a S3 (PHD) scholarship to study GIS in Canada??

Hi Ike. I have a diploma in Geomatics Engineering Tech and am looking into the University of Lethbridge 2 year post-diploma Bachelor of Science in Geography with a Concentration in GIS program. I see you have a Bachelors in Geography…is there any particular reason you are looking to do more schooling? Should I maybe consider SAIT’s (Calgary) BGIS program (1 year + 1 year paid practicum)?

Hello everyone, I have a Bachelors degree in Geography and would want to do a diploma program in GIS , hopefully a 1 year program in Calgary. What are my options and would the diploma program be sufficient to make me marketable as a GIS analyst?

Exactly, is there not data on Quebec? Cegep or University?

Under the Ontario Learns GIS Program you have mentioned dated software, is this program ‘behind the times’?

For someone without any GIS experience, but wanting to develop some marketable skills is this program a good choice?

Hello everyone. I wish to have a taste of the certificate or diploma course in GIS and remote sensing in Canada or elsewhere. More importantly, how can I get fellowship to assist me achieve my goal?

@Frank and @Okocha lucky – There are no master’s degrees for just GIS in Canada. What you would be looking for are master’s degrees in geography, which do exist at Canadian universities. Here’s a list I found with a quick Google search, but there might be others not on this list.

This webpage has listings only for college/university programs that focus entirely on obtaining GIS skills. Learning how to use GIS is only a subset of what would be involved in a master’s degree for geography. For example, most of the programs listed on this webpage don’t require students to research and write their own thesis, as typically would be required by a master’s program. It’s like comparing the difference between studying drama and studying filmmaking: the latter is just going to teach you how to operate a camera and edit what you record while the former is going to be a lot more in-depth on how to structure a story to make it more compelling.

Hope this explanation and attached link helps.

Is there something like Canada speak for a master’s degree? What is the equivalent, ey?

I actually want to enroll for a master’s program in GIS, all I’m seeing here is post diploma certificate and so on, are they equally thesame because I’m confused.

Which country has the best GIS opportunities as well as jobs?

Another one in Newfoundland: GIS Applications Specialist (Post Diploma) http://www.cna.nl.ca/programs-courses/Show-Program-Details.aspx?program=96

Thanks guys. I’ve made these changes in the article.

You missed one :-) Dalhousie University in Halifax.

http://www.dal.ca/faculty/science/environmental-science-program/programs/certificates/certificate-in-geographic-information-science.html

Note: the NBCC Geographic Information Services program in was eliminated in 2014

Great list! I am wondering if you could make a list of the best place to study GIS (or GIS-related), not only in Canada, but in the whole world! :)

I am interested in a M.Tech in Geoinformatics course. Is it possible through distance mode?

So we’re totally just not going to talk about Atlantic Canada? Newfoundland? MUN? Anyone?

Government of Canada announces details of increase in award values for federal scholarships and fellowships

From: Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada

News release

The increase will take effect September 1 to further support Canadian students and fellows

May 31, 2024 – Ottawa, Ontario

Investing in students and postgraduate researchers nurtures future leaders who will help address global challenges and drive Canada’s success in the 21st century.

This is why Budget 2024 proposed significant new investments to increase the value and number of scholarships and fellowships for master’s and doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers funded by Canada’s federal granting agencies—the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).

Today, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, and the Honourable Mark Holland, Minister of Health, announced that students and fellows receiving scholarships and fellowships from the funding agencies will see increased award values take effect as of September 1, 2024. The annual value of all current and new master’s and doctoral student scholarships will increase to $27,000 and $40,000, respectively, and current and new postdoctoral fellowships will increase to $70,000.

This enhancement reflects the Government of Canada’s steadfast dedication to supporting the next generation of researchers, giving them equal opportunity to succeed and providing them with the resources they need to tackle complex challenges and drive innovation.

Additional details will be communicated to award holders in July 2024. There will be no changes to the value or duration of the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships or the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships. The Vanier and Banting programs will continue under their current parameters, $50,000 and $70,000 per year respectively, until they are replaced by the new, streamlined talent program proposed in Budget 2024.

“Since day one, our government has been committed to reinforcing the role of researchers and scientists. We are making significant investments that directly address the sector’s crucial needs and provide the next generation of academics with the tools they need to generate new breakthroughs and discoveries that will improve people’s lives, boost innovation ecosystems and shape Canada’s prosperity for years to come.” – The Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry

“By increasing the value of scholarships and fellowships provided by the government’s research granting councils, the Government of Canada is reaffirming its support for Canadian research talent. This will ensure the next generation of scientific leaders remain here in Canada, where their work has the potential to lead to a better quality of life and improved health for us all.” – The Honourable Mark Holland, Minister of Health

Quick facts

Since 2016, the government has provided more than $16 billion to support science and research.

In addition, Budget 2024 proposed $825 million over five years, and $199.8 million ongoing, to increase support for master’s and doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows, as well as $1.8 billion over five years, and $748.3 million ongoing, to the federal granting councils to increase core research grant funding and support Canadian researchers.

In addition to the increase in award values, Budget 2024 proposed to increase the number of scholarships and fellowships provided, building to approximately 1,720 more graduate students and fellows benefitting each year, and to streamline the various tri-agency scholarship and fellowship programs into one talent program. 

Award holders on paid parental leave will have the value of their leave supplements increased in proportion to the new value of their award in the same manner as all other active awards. 

Budget 2024 also included investments in modern, high-quality research facilities and infrastructure to help solve real-world problems, create economic opportunities, and attract and train the next generation of scientific talent.
