Physics Specialist (Science Program) - ASSPE1944

Physics Specialist (Science Program) - ASSPE1944

The Physics Specialist Program offers rigorous training in the full spectrum of core physics subfields, as well as their numerous important applications. Practical courses treat the experimental and computational aspects and complement the lecture courses. Physics concerns many of the most fundamental questions in our scientific understanding of the universe. What is the nature of matter and energy at the smallest scales? What are the physical processes that govern the Earth’s climate? What is the nature of light and how can it be controlled? How do the collective properties of solids emerge from those of individual atoms? How do biological processes organize themselves to maintain their survival? What is the structure and evolution of the Earth and the other planets? How can quantum information be used for computation? Physics seeks answers to these questions using a combination of theory, computation and precise experimental work, and the results find application across all of science.

This program is designed for students who have demonstrated a particular interest and aptitude for psychology research and who want to complete a thesis.

Enrolment Requirements:

Students apply at the end of their second year and begin the program in their third. Interested students should ideally apply for a PSY Major or Specialist (Non-thesis) at the end of their first year. All students accepted into or considering the Research Specialist program should enrol into a 300-level PSY lab course in their third year. In addition to applying via ACORN, students must also send in a supplementary application directly to the department via the Research Specialist Online Application by the same deadlines for Subject POSt enrolment on ACORN.

Admission to the program is based on strong academic performance and expressed interest in research. Prior research experience is not necessary for admission to the program, but most successful applicants have previous experience in one or more psychology laboratories. The Research Specialist is a limited program and, therefore, enrolment is restricted to no more than 15 students per year. This is a very demanding program, requiring the balance of extensive in-person research with challenging coursework. Therefore, strong applications provide evidence of exceptional time management skills and the ability to work independently. Eligibility is highly competitive and based on the following criteria (please note that meeting the following minimum requirements does not guarantee admission):

How to apply:

1. Request program code ASSPE1958 on ACORN by the deadline for each round of enrolment.
2. Fill out the online supplemental application by the same date: https://www.psych.utoronto.ca/research-specialist-program-online-application.

Public Health Major (Arts Program) - ASMAJ2086

Public Health Major (Arts Program) - ASMAJ2086

The Major in Public Health explores how health is shaped by the circumstances in which people are born, grow up, live, work, and age, and how these in turn connect to a wider set of environmental, social, cultural, economic, and political forces.

Understanding health requires knowledge from a range of disciplines and sectors: Public Health offers a stimulating multidisciplinary environment that challenges students to think about health – both locally and globally – in new ways.

Quantitative Biology Major (Science Program) - ASMAJ2368

Quantitative Biology Major (Science Program) - ASMAJ2368

The Quantitative Biology Major program (8.0 credits) is designed for students with a deep interest in biology who wish to gain a strong grounding in quantitative methods and their application to biological questions. More than ever, advancements in biology, from the molecular through the organismal to the ecosystem level, require quantitative thinking and skills along with a strong understanding of biological processes. Interdisciplinary research that draws from the natural sciences, mathematics, statistics and computer science, is an important aspect of modern biology. This major provides foundations in biology and quantitative approaches used to test and advance biological knowledge, and is appropriate for students who wish to pursue a career or graduate studies in a broad range of life sciences, ranging from biomedical to conservation to epidemiology.

The program is delivered through a mixture of classroom-learning and applied laboratory teaching, with an emphasis on understanding how quantitative methods inform our understanding of biology, and how they can be applied to test and develop new hypotheses. Students also have access to independent research opportunities that enhance professional skills, science communication, and the development and application of knowledge in quantitative biology.

Quantitative Biology Major students have priority enrollment in the EEB courses listed, but not in courses offered by other departments, such as STA, MAT, CSC, CSB and BCB. Students should be aware that some courses listed have prerequisites that are not listed below. For students intending to pursue graduate studies, it is strongly recommended that an independent research course such as EEB498Y1 be included as part of the Quantitative Biology major.

Science, Technology, and Society Minor (Arts Program) - ASMIN2743

Science, Technology, and Society Minor (Arts Program) - ASMIN2743

The Minor in Science, Technology, and Society is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on the different ways science and technology shape modern society and, in turn, how society shapes science and technology. From the food we eat to the way we conceive family relations or our obligations to future generations, our daily practices and our beliefs are increasingly influenced by scientific research and its applications. In turn, politics, public opinion, moral beliefs and cultural practices affect scientific and technological development. Courses in this program address such topics as science and values, science-related policy and politics, ethical uses of technology, scientific revolutions and controversies, modeling and communication of scientific research, and knowledge transfer from research to commercial and societal applications.

Sexual Diversity Studies Major (Arts Program) - ASMAJ1240

Sexual Diversity Studies Major (Arts Program) - ASMAJ1240

The Sexual Diversity Studies program (Specialist, Major, Minor) enables students to explore, analyze, and challenge the ways in which sexuality shapes people’s lives in both local and global contexts. The program provides vibrant interdisciplinary scholarship and academic learning on the historical and contemporary formations of sexual practices at the intersections of race, class, gender, disability, and citizenship status, among other social relations and processes. Our courses are designed to foster critical conversations of queer and normative sexualities; the formation of sexual, racial, and gender, and gender-non-conforming personhood; and the role of sexuality in culture and politics both in North America and transnationally.
