Applicants for the degree of Ph.D. in Nursing must meet all general requirements of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and the specific requirements of the School of Nursing. The equivalent of a minimum of two years' full-time recent nursing practice as a registered nurse, preferably in the chosen area of concentration, is strongly recommended.

Completed applications and supporting documents must be available for consideration by the School and faculty on, or before, the published deadline dates.

Admission is highly competitive. Not all students who meet the minimum requirements will be admitted. These programs are offered as resources permit.

All interested applicants are required to contact the Ph.D. Program Coordinator in the School of Nursing before beginning the application process and to notify the Graduate Adviser in the School of Nursing of their intention to apply to the program.

Applicants will usually hold a baccalaureate and master’s degree in Nursing. Master’s degrees in other disciplines will be considered, but students may be required to take additional courses to acquire the necessary grounding in nursing knowledge development.

An advanced level (500 or higher) university statistics course is required before beginning the Ph.D. program in September.

Applicants will be expected to have achieved a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 7.0 (A-) (or equivalent) on the UVic scale of 9.0 in their master’s program. However, students who have achieved a GPA of less than 7.0 and have appropriate work experience and additional credentials may be considered. In keeping with the current regulations of the Faculty of Graduate Studies, there will be no residency requirement per se. Nonetheless, students will be expected to maintain continuous registration throughout the program, which is structured to support them in moving through the requirements within specified time limits.

Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply for external funding and should indicate where they have applied for such funding on their applications.

A faculty admissions committee will interview all short-listed candidates.

UVic email address

All program information will be provided by email. All School of Nursing students must use their UVic email address as their primary email contact in the student records system while enrolled in programs.

RA salaries come from faculty members’ research grants. Because of this, RA hours, salary, and other details are worked out between you and the faculty member.
