PhD in Geomatics Engineering

About this programme

Looking for a career in research with a great indoor/outdoor balance? Geomatics Engineering is a varied and exciting technology discipline that requires design, computational and measurement skills utilized through field work, lab experiments and computer modeling. Geomatics Engineers get to solve an engaging variety of problems in applications ranging from satellite positioning to environmental monitoring with a common attribute: spatial location. Our world-renowned Department of Geomatics Engineering offers such opportunities through the research-oriented Geomatics Engineering (PhD Thesis) program for graduate students who want to pursue a research career in academia, industry or government. Industry, government agencies, space agencies, research institutions and academia related to the following sectors: land and industrial surveying, mapping, land tenure, navigation, location services, aerospace, internet of things, environment and hazards, energy and natural resources, agriculture, biomedical, civil, mining, transportation, robotics, automotive, electronics, computer software. Students are required to prepare a thesis and successfully defend in an open oral defense. Minimum of 3 courses with at least one Geomatics Engineering specific graduate course and Professional Development seminars A supervisor is required, and must agree to oversee the student's research before admission will be granted See the Graduate Calendar for information on fees and fee regulations, and for information on awards and financial assistance .
