Â鶹ÍøÕ¾ 2015 Nobel Prize in PhysicsFunding
If accepted into our Graduate program, students at the Master's level are guaranteed a minimum stipend of $28,950/year for a two year period.
The stipend is made up of funding you receive as a TA (teaching assistant), as well as internal fellowships and bursaries and support from your supervisor.
The amounts cited above represent the minimum; stipends can range up to ~$34,000 if students are awarded external scholarships (NSERC, OGS, etc).
Graduate tuition fees for domestic and international students can be found on the Office of the University Registrar's Tuition & Fees page.
Degree Requirements
In order to receive a MASc from the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics & Astronomy, the following must be completed:
Research and Thesis
Completion of a research project and presentation of a thesis within two years of initial registration.
Courses
The Departmental requirements for the master's degree program are a minimum of four term-length courses. At most, one of these four graduate level term-length courses can be jointly offered (double-numbered) with an undergraduate course. At least two term-length courses must be from among those offered by the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics & Astronomy. At most two term-length courses may be taken from a department other than the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics & Astronomy, subject to the approval of the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics & Astronomy.
Note: MASc students wishing to take PHYS/CHEM 904 may enrol in CHEM 904 (i.e., the course counts as a non-physics course), with permission from their supervisor and from the departmental Coordinator of Graduate Studies.
Accelerated MSc or MASc
If you are an undergraduate student with the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics & Astronomy, an accelerated option for a MSc / MASc is available. More information can be found on the undergraduate pages:
