The Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology (IHPST) provides two academic programs: a Master of Arts and a Doctor of Philosophy. IHPST engages in research, delivers advanced study programs, and acts as a hub for university-wide engagement in its discipline. Graduate students from all fields can enroll in courses, which serve as valuable supplements for those specializing in science or humanities. Attendees take part in IHPST colloquia, accessible to the entire University of Toronto community.
The MA program at IHPST is a one-year, coursework-focused degree that can be finished within two terms (September through April). Upon admission, every MA student receives guidance from both a Faculty Advisor and a Graduate Student Mentor.

Qualification Requirements

A bachelor's degree from a recognized university with an average grade of at least B+ in the final two years of undergraduate work. While the majority of accepted students exceed this standard, the very broad scope of the field and the variety of fruitful approaches to it also imply that many different backgrounds are appropriate. Accordingly, grades are only one criterion used to judge applicants.

Applicants whose primary language is not English and who graduated from a university where the language of instruction is not English must submit results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and Test of Written English (TWE) with the following minimum scores:

???paper-based TOEFL: 580 and 5 on the TWE

Internet-based TOEFL: 93/120 and 22/30 on the writing and speaking sections.

International English Language Testing System (IELTS): Required score: 7.0 (Academic) with at least 6.5 for each component.
