工程哲学博士-工程物理（博士学位，可选）

博士 学位是基于论文的，要求学生参加课程，完成综合考试并撰写和捍卫论文。拥有硕士学位的学生必须修读两个半课程，其中至少两个必须达到700级。攻读博士学位的学生 直接从学士学位课程学习或转为博士学位。不要求修完硕士学位的课程，则必须在700级水平上攻读总共两个半课程。在这两个半课程中，其中一个可以是经副教授（研究生）批准的非技术课程。对于那些转移到博士学位的学生 如果没有完成硕士学位，则必须在McMaster的工程物理MASc的硕士学位课程中完成课程。或M.Eng。程序可能会转移到McMaster的工程物理
The Ph.D. degree is thesis-based, where students are required to take courses, complete comprehensive exams and write & defend a thesis. Students with a Master's degree are required to take two half courses, at least two of which must be at the 700- level. Students entering into the Ph.D. program directly from a Baccalaureate degree, or transferring into the Ph.D. program without being required to complete the Master's degree are required to take a total of two half courses at the 700-level. Among these two half courses, one can be a non-technical course with approval of the Associate Chair (Graduate). For those students transferring to the Ph.D. without completion of the Master's degree, courses completed during the Master's at McMaster's Engineering Physics M.A.Sc. or M.Eng. program may be transferred to McMaster's Engineering Physics Ph.D. program. In addition to the minimum of two half courses, Ph.D. candidates are required to complete the mandatory seminar half course ENG PHYS 701 . During their course of study, doctoral candidates will be required to pass a Departmental Comprehensive Examination. Ph.D. students must present a thesis proposal to their Supervisory Committee, normally at the first Supervisory meeting after completion of one term in their program.
