Application Deadline
- The deadline for applications for September admission to our full-time MSc and PhD programs is January 15.
- The deadline for applications for January admission to our part-time MSc program is October 1.
Note: There is no January admission to our full-time Master's
program. Ph.D. students are only accepted for January admission in
exceptional circumstances.
Late applications may be accepted, at the discretion of the department,
but applicants are advised that there may not be any full-time places
remaining for applications received after the deadline.
Students admitted to the full-time Master's program or to the Ph.D.
program receive funding from the University and the Department for
their studies.
Applicants for the part-time Master's are not considered for financial
assistance.
Non-Degree (Special) Students
A student who seeks to take individual courses, but who is not
registered for a degree, may apply to register as a non-degree/special
student, either on a part-time or full-time basis. Such applications
will be considered provided students have an undergraduate degree and
provided they plan to take at least one graduate level course in the
Department. Special student status is useful for students wishing to
upgrade their background for admission to the M.Sc. or Ph.D. programs. Please note: Courses taken as a special student may not subsequently be counted towards a degree program.
English Facility Requirement
All international students, whose primary language is not English and
who graduated from a university where the language of instruction and
examination was not English, are required to demonstrate facility in
the English language. This requirement is a condition of admission. It
should be met before an acceptance into a graduate program is issued. Acceptable tests and required scores are listed here.
If you have any questions about graduate admission that are not answered on our website, please contact the Graduate Office at grad-info@utstat.utoronto.ca.
