| Prerequisites Notes | Students applying for PhD entry must have completed an MSc degree (or equivalent) in either Physics, Astronomy or Engineering with at least a 70% (or B) average taken over all MSc graduate courses. Meeting this minimum standard does not guarantee acceptance.
Applicants to our program are not required to take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). However, it would be to the advantage of international students to take the GRE-Physics exam to both strengthen the application and to help the Graduate Affairs Committee more fairly evaluate it. | | |
