Astronomy and Astrophysics (MSc) is a one-year, research-based master's program offered by the David A. Dunlap Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Toronto, generally admitted as a preliminary phase before students proceed to the department's PhD program. The department conducts observational and theoretical research on solar system dynamics, stars, stellar systems, the interstellar medium, the Galaxy, galaxies, quasars, clusters of galaxies, cosmology, and problems in general relativity. MSc students complete two required full-course equivalents, AST1501Y and AST1500Y, each with a different faculty supervisor and assessed by an oral committee exam, engaging in original research from the outset; AST1501Y normally runs in the Fall/Winter of Year 1 and AST1500Y in the following Summer session. Students also complete a minimum of 1.5 further full-course equivalents from preparatory, elective, or specialized astronomy courses, attend the department's weekly colloquium, and are expected to be on campus full-time for the duration of the program.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: An appropriate bachelor's degree with high academic standing from a recognized university; because many universities do not offer extensive undergraduate training in astronomy and astrophysics, adequate preparation in physics and mathematics is an acceptable background. Applicants whose primary language is not English and who graduated from a university where the language of instruction and examination was not English must demonstrate English proficiency under the School of Graduate Studies' General Regulations.
