Applicants to UBC have access to a variety of funding options, including merit-based (i.e. based on your academic performance) and need-based (i.e. based on your financial situation) opportunities.
PhD students in the Department of Statistics receive a minimum funding package of $24,000 for the first four years of the program. This funding comes in the form of teaching and/or research assistantships. Motivated students can often find additional sources of funding. Domestic students are expected to apply for NSERC PGSD scholarships.
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.
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 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 .
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.
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.
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.
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 .
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.
Applicants have access to the cost estimator to develop a financial plan that takes into account various income sources and expenses.

2024 | Dr. Zhang developed statistical methods to uncover hidden patterns in biological data. His research helped to unravel the underlying mechanism of complex diseases. In a study of pancreatic cancer, his method revealed seven gene programs related to cancer progression, which can aid researchers to develop more effective treatment strategies. |
2024 | Dr. Zhang developed a flexible statistical model with which the relations among multiple time series variables can be considered after modeling each individual time series. It is applied to macroeconomic variables with changing business cycles. |
2024 | Dr. Daly-Grafstein developed new statistical methods for studying cause-and-effect relationships. These methods require fewer assumptions about the nature of the data, making estimates more robust. They are applicable when conducting observational studies or when research data is partially missing. |
2023 | Dr. Pan investigated new conditional inference and prediction methods after fitting a joint distribution based on vine copulas, including prediction of an arbitrary variable given others, prediction of a right-censored response, and prediction of an ordinal or continuous response when some explanatory variables are nominal categorical. |
2023 | Dr. Flynn developed statistical methods of using structured networks of data to estimate the size of hidden or hard-to-reach populations, and created corresponding software for these techniques to readily be used by researchers across diverse fields. These methods were used to illuminate the true scope of the opioid epidemic in British Columbia. |
2023 | Can we find structure in complex systems, like social networks or the interactions between cell proteins? Dr. Briercliffe designed a class of statistical models for discovering hidden structure in networks.By harnessing probability theory, his research created practical tools that allow scientists to reveal order and structure in our complex world. |
2023 | Dr. Syed's work on non-reversible parallel tempering showed how parallel computing could improve the scalability of Monte Carlo methods and solve challenging statistic inference problems. He was awarded the Pierre Robillard award for the best PhD thesis in statistics and probability in Canada. |
2022 | Dr. Ju developed prediction methods that go beyond classical settings. Her proposals are built upon the idea of ensemble learning and use data that contain extreme or function-valued variables. The resulting algorithms provide computational tools for practitioners to deal with complex data seen in various applications. |
2022 | Dr. Christidis developed a new class of statistical algorithms designed to analyze data in high dimensions. He made theoretical and computational contributions to support his work. His methods were applied to study the relationship between genetic patterns and different types of diseases. |
2022 | Computer experiments are used as replacements for physical experiments in a wide variety of applications. Dr. Isberg's research addressed the analysis of large datasets arising from computer models, as well as the combination of multiple competing computer models. The work can be applied broadly in science and engineering, including climate models. |

Carleton's Grad programs in Mathematics & Statistics
A Ph.D. degree is the highest academic qualification anyone can earn. And with Harvard Business Review declaring data scientist to be the sexiest job of the 21 st century, a Ph.D. in Data Science should probably be called the sexiest university degree of the century.
Universities in Canada, like the ones in other highly advanced countries, are offering such degrees in abundance. Here, we have listed the seven best Canadian universities that offer a Ph.D. degree in Data Science.
1. university of british columbia.
Beginning its journey over a hundred years ago, the University of British Columbia (UBC) offers higher education to nearly 65,000 students, including over 17,000 international students.
It has two main campuses sited in Vancouver and Okanagan of the province of British Columbia. It is recognized as one of the top 40 universities in the world and top three universities in Canada by a number of major university rankings.
Nobel laureates like economist Robert Mundell and physicist Bertram Brockhouse are a couple of notable alumni.
UBC’s Department of Computer Science administers a Ph.D. in Computer Science program. Its research areas include a number of concepts relevant to Data Science like Data Integration, Text Mining, Web Databases, and Optimization.
It is an on-campus program that is only available in a full-time format. It takes place at the Vancouver campus and can be completed within three to five years.
HEC Montréal is actually not a university; rather, it is a graduate school of the Université de Montréal. Founded in 1907, the business school currently has over 14,000 students.
All of its classes take place in its two buildings in Montreal, Quebec: the Côte-Sainte-Catherine building and the Decelles building.
Despite being a French-language institution, it also offers programs that have English as the medium of instruction.
Louis R. Chênevert, the former CEO of United Technologies Corporation and president of Pratt & Whitney, graduated from this institution.
HEC Montréal offers a Ph.D. in Administration – Data Science program in collaboration with three other universities: McGill University , Concordia University , and Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). The partnership provides students with access to resources from all four Montreal-based institutions.
The English-language program requires 90 credits to be completed in full-time study mode. The duration of the program is typically four to five years.
Next on our list of universities in Canada with a Ph.D. in Data Science is the University of Waterloo . Founded in 1957, the University of Waterloo (UWaterloo) has a student population north of 40,000.
Around 20 percent of all undergraduate students and 40 percent of all graduate students have come from outside Canada. According to U.S. News and World Report Best Global Universities 2019, the university located in Waterloo is Canada’s best for Computer Science and second-best for Engineering.
It is the alma mater of Rasmus Lerdorf, the programmer who authored the first two versions of the PHP scripting language.
UWaterloo’s Ph.D. in Computer Science includes research areas like Databases, Information Retrieval, and Machine Learning that are relevant to the field of Data Science.
Students may take on this on-campus program in either full-time or part-time study mode. Admission takes place thrice a year at the start of the academic terms Fall, Winter, and Spring.
The University of Alberta is a top-tier Canadian research university based primarily in Edmonton, the capital of Alberta. It was established in 1908, the same year that UBC came into being. The total student enrolment stands at over 40,000.
Nobel-winning physicist Richard E. Taylor and former Canadian prime minister Joe Clark graduated from this university.
Alberta’s Department of Computing Science runs a Ph.D. in Computing Science that has a wide range of research areas. A few of them, including Database Systems and Machine Learning, are related to the field of Data Science.
There’s also a Ph.D. in Statistical Machine Learning offered by the department in collaboration with the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences. These are full-time programs that are ideally completed within five years.
Founded over two hundred years ago, Dalhousie University (Dal) is one of the oldest universities in the Great White North. Its student population is around 19,000, which includes nearly 4,000 international students representing over 115 nationalities.
Each of its three campuses is located in Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia. The university is the alma mater of Nobel-winning astrophysicist Arthur B. McDonald, Canadian PMs R.B. Bennett, and Brian Mulroney, as well as former Xerox Corporation CEO and chairman Charles Peter McColough.
Dal offers a Ph.D. in Computer Science which allows students to specialize and develop deep expertise in Data Analytics. The Faculty of Computer Science’s Big Data Analytics & Machine Learning research cluster, which is based in the Institute for Big Data Analytics, helps students to conduct independent and original research. The Ph.D. program takes around three to four years to complete.
The University of New Brunswick (UNB) started off in 1785 as Canada’s first English-language university. It has two campuses: one situated in New Brunswick’s capital Fredericton, and the other in the port city of Saint John in the same province. The university has more than 10,000 students hailing from over 100 countries. It was recognized as the country’s most entrepreneurial university in 2014 by Startup Canada.
UNB’s Faculty of Computer Science offers a Ph.D. in Computer Science one of the many research areas is Data Management, Analytics, and Mining. The program can be completed in three years. While it is ideally a full-time program, students could be permitted to take on the program on a part-time basis under certain conditions.
Beginning its journey in 1948 as a postsecondary institute with merely 250 students, Ryerson University has grown into a full-fledged university with over 45,000 students.
It is located in Toronto, Ontario, and is the province’s most applied-to university relative to available accommodation.
Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts founder and chairman Isadore Sharp and former Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment president and COO Tom Anselmi are a couple of its notable alumni.
Ryerson’s Faculty of Science administers a Ph.D. in Computer Science which provides students with the option of specializing in Data Science and related subjects like Machine Learning and Data Mining. The nominal duration of the thesis-based program is three years. The format for this program is full-time.
Which university in canada is best for a ph.d. in data science.
When it comes to Canada, the University of British Columbia would probably be your best pick for getting a Ph.D. in data science. Requiring nearly 5-6 years of your time, this professional degree program will challenge its students to analyze data from a wide range of domains while allowing each student to solve real-world problems created by partnered businesses.
If you want to graduate with a Ph.D. in data science, the time required ranges from 4 years to 9 years, depending on the person. To go down this track, you would probably apply for a Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science and take the track of data analysis, which is a major part of data science.
If you just want to complete a Master’s degree in data science, you only need to spend 10 months of your time in this accelerated professional degree program. Analyzing data from a real-world environment, the experience that you would get from these types of programs would be second to none!
We hope that this article on universities in Canada with Ph.D. in Data Science was helpful. Make sure to also check out our Data Science Programs for International Students for some of the currently open data science courses around the world!

A PhD in Statistics focuses on mastering the mathematical framework behind data analysis. You will be researching processes that help understand data and assess risks. Even though Statistics contains a major component of theoretical maths, it has plenty of application in other fields like Physics, Biology or Finance.
On a PhD level, you’ll be using your existing knowledge of the models and methods in Statistics to work on a unique project that offers significant contribution to the field. Statistics is a vast area of study and you can look at one of some of these popular research topics in Statistics:
Statistics also has applications in other areas like Biology, Medicine, Finance or Physics. You can, therefore, also decide to focus on a particular application of Statistics. For example, you can have a special focus on statistics within biomedical or social science.
Akin to many other STEM subjects, Statistics PhDs are usually advertised with a research objective. You can also propose your own research projects and they might be considered if they meet the over-arching objectives of the department.
In the UK, a PhD will end with submitting a thesis of around 80,000 words followed by an oral examination where you will defend your research in front of an academic panel. It is also likely that you’ll be asked to enroll as an MPhil student at the beginning of your programme. You can upgrade to a PhD, after a review at the end of the first year, if your supervisor feels your work meets certain standards
Since a PhD is a purely research-based degree, there are no compulsory teaching hours. You’ll work on a mutually decided schedule with your supervisor. However, because of the transdisciplinary nature of the field of Statistics, you might be encouraged to take on some taught modules, that cover certain transferable skills, in your first year.
If you’re looking to do a PhD in Statistics, you’ll need to have completed a Masters (with Merit or Distinction) in a mathematical subject. Some research programmes may also accept degrees in subjects like Physics, Engineering or Computer Science, provided they have a major mathematical component.
Depending on where you choose to apply, you may also need to show that you have a level of language proficiency in your university’s language of instruction
In the UK, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funds PhDs in Statistics. They offer fully funded studentships and a monthly stipend to UK students. PhDs are usually advertised with the funding attached and you’re automatically eligible for it if you’re successful in your application.
If you are an international student, you have the option of the EPSRC PhD Scholarships that contribute towards your tuition fee but do not include a monthly stipend.

A PhD prepares you for a career in academia and the industry. Agriculture, forensics, finance and law are some of the biggest employers of Statistics graduates outside of academia. You can also look at careers in Actuarial Sciences after a PhD in Statistics.
Phd research project.
PhD Research Projects are advertised opportunities to examine a pre-defined topic or answer a stated research question. Some projects may also provide scope for you to propose your own ideas and approaches.
This project does not have funding attached. You will need to have your own means of paying fees and living costs and / or seek separate funding from student finance, charities or trusts.

The scholarship application process in Canada can be a little daunting, especially for first-time applicants. Not to worry. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions to guide you through the process:
In Canada, the scholarship application process begins with first receiving an acceptance letter into a Canadian university.
Once you have that sorted, shortlist the scholarships that you are eligible for and best fit your needs. Contact your university’s financial aid representative or head over to the website for more details on deadlines and requirements before submitting your application.
Your chances of receiving a scholarship depend on the scholarship’s nature and eligibility. Most scholarships are awarded based on academic achievements.
However, you have a higher chance of receiving a scholarship if you have work or volunteer experience.
The requirement for a PhD scholarship in Canada differs for each. However, the basic requirement is first to be accepted into a PhD programme. To do so, you must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher .
Start applying early to stand a chance at scoring a scholarship. By starting early, you will have more time and opportunities available to you.
The second tip would be to apply for as many scholarships as possible. The more you apply, the higher your chances of winning a scholarship.
As a PhD student in Canada, you will be eligible to work on and off campus as long as you have a valid study permit. However, while the semester is running, you will only be able to work part-time for up to 20 hours per week . During semester breaks, students can work full-time.

Prof. james coleman interviewed on ctv about presidential politics affecting u.s. - canada energy policy.
Professor James Coleman was interviewed on CTV News - Calgary discussing how the presidential election race provides two distinct views on energy policy and trade between the U.S. and Canada. Canadian oil shipments to the U.S. have reached record levels in recent months, and the two countries act as each other’s largest crude importer. While a Harris administration would likely follow current policies, or perhaps advocate for greater restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions, Donald Trump is pledging a 10 percent tariff on all imports and an increase in domestic drilling in order to reduce energy dependence. Describing the current energy policy between the two nations, Prof. Coleman said, “It continues to be the world’s most important bilateral energy relationship. So one of the things to watch out for is, is this a broad-based attack on trade? Or is it more about removing dependence on the strategic competitors?”
