The Department of Physics provides graduate studies culminating in Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Research spans both experimental and theoretical physics across diverse areas including atmospheric physics, geophysics, quantum optics, condensed matter physics, subatomic physics, astrophysics, and biophysics. The department maintains strong collaborations with the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (CITA), allowing students to engage with prominent theorists affiliated with or visiting CITA. Admission follows the School of Graduate Studies' General Regulations, with financial assistance available for one year of MSc studies and four years for PhD candidates (extended to five years for direct-entry PhD students).
The Quantum Condensed Matter Physics group at the University of Toronto excels in investigating quantum materials that exhibit remarkable properties under extreme conditions like ultra-low temperatures or high pressures. Researchers employ theoretical approaches and experimental methods such as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), quantum oscillation measurements, and neutron/x-ray scattering to study these materials. The group also collaborates internationally on quantum material research via the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIfAR) network. Further condensed matter physics research is conducted by the quantum optics group and the Experimental Nonlinear Physics Group.

Qualification Requirements
MSc degree in Physics or closely related field with first class standing
Exceptional students with a BSc degree may be admitted to the direct-entry PhD program. Such students must have an academic average of A or higher in an honours Physics program or a program of comparable rigour in a closely related field. All applicants to the MSc program will automatically be considered for admission to the direct-entry PhD program. MSc. applicants interested in direct-entry PhD are not required to submit a separate application for PhD.
Upload transcripts in .pdf format from each post-secondary institution attended. Transcripts should not be password protected. Only those applicants offered admission to the program will be required to provide official transcripts issued directly from their institution(s).
Submit your statement of intent
GRE scores are not required.
IELTS - Minimum required score 7.0 (Academic) with at least 6.5 for each component.
TOEFL IBT - Overall Score - 93, Writing and Speaking- 22, TOEFL Paper-based Test - Overall Score 580 TWE 4
