Program details
Overview
Physics at the University of Toronto is an Honours Bachelor of Science program offered at the St. George campus, through the Faculty of Arts & Science, and at the Mississauga campus. St. George offers the subject as a Major, Minor, or Specialist and includes a work-integrated learning option, while Mississauga offers it as a Major or Minor. The subject is grouped under the university's Mathematics & Physical Sciences area, described as investigating the principles that shape the world through critical thinking, problem-solving, and exploration in math, physics, and related sciences. Ontario applicants need an Ontario Secondary School Diploma with six courses at the 4U/M level, including English, Advanced Functions, Calculus & Vectors, and Physics; Grade 12 co-op components are not counted toward admission. The program suits students seeking a foundation in physical science and mathematical reasoning, with a choice between a full Specialist credential at St. George and lighter Major or Minor options at either campus, plus the option to add work-integrated learning experience at St. George.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Offered at Mississauga (HBSc Major/Minor) and St. George (HBSc Major/Minor/Specialist, with a work-integrated learning option), this program shares U of T's Ontario baseline: Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U/M courses including English (ENG4U/EAE4U); the co-op component of a Grade 12 course is excluded from admission consideration. Mississauga requires Advanced Functions (MHF4U), Calculus & Vectors (MCV4U) and Physics (SPH4U); St. George requires Calculus & Vectors (MCV4U) and Physics (SPH4U). International applicants apply through the same OUAC system, presenting the equivalent senior secondary credential with the same subject prerequisites. No minimum grade percentage is published; applicants whose first language is not English must meet the University's general proficiency minimums (IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 89 overall with 22 in Speaking and Writing for tests before 21 January 2026).
Application Details
Start Date:Fall
Application Deadline:University of Toronto uses one application deadline for domestic and international applicants alike for Fall 2027 entry: 15 January 2027 for most programmes, including Applied Science & Engineering, Arts & Science (St. George), the iSchool, Kinesiology & Physical Education, Nursing, Physician Assistant, and UTM and UTSC, with supporting documents also due 15 January 2027 (Engineering) or 1 February 2027 (most others). Medical Radiation Sciences has an extended 1 February 2027 deadline. A recommended early-application date of 7 November 2026 applies across the board, and several programmes (Rotman Commerce, Computer Science, Architecture, Kinesiology) require a supplementary component due 1 February 2027. Admission decisions are released from January through late May; UofT does not describe any programme as rolling. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
