Course requirements are recommended by the Supervisor and Supervisory Committee based on the background of the student and the research project.

Normally, a student without a MSc or equivalent will first enroll in the MSc program and then transfer to the PhD program with the recommendation/approval of the Supervisory Committee. Courses taken in the MSc program will be counted towards the PhD degree. The normal time for completion of the degree is 4-5 years The Department requires that all PhD students receive financial support.

It is possible for students to receive their degree from the Department of Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging if the professor holds an adjunct appointment in the Department of Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging.
