The PhD in Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto develops students' abilities to conceptualize research problems in human nutrition, synthesize research approaches, analyze and interpret data, communicate findings to peers, and expand knowledge of the field. Research spans the basic science, clinical, and community aspects of human nutrition, from the molecular to the community level of inquiry. The standard program takes four years of full-time study, with a six-year time limit, and is delivered in person. Admission normally requires an A- standing (80-84%) in the final two years of study for applicants entering from a master's degree, or an A standing (85-89%) for direct entry from a bachelor's degree; applicants must also identify their own supervisor, since admission is conditional on securing one. International applicants who have not completed at least five years of education in an English-language setting must submit TOEFL or IELTS scores. Graduates pursue research and academic careers spanning nutrition science, public health, and clinical nutrition.
