Graduate Studies

Downtown Toronto
Interdisciplinary opportunities in Canada’s top city for technology, health sciences and industry
Complex Systems Field
One of North America’s first universities to offer graduate-level Complex Systems field
Research-Rich Environment
State-of-the art facilities, collaborative partnerships, research-intensive faculty
CAMPEP Accredited
Toronto’s only CAMPEP-accredited program, and industry-recognized pathway to medical physics residency
As a graduate student at Toronto Metropolitan University, you can pursue a master’s or PhD degree in Physics within one of three field specializations. We have a recognized reputation for excellence in biomedical physics, and are one of few universities in Ontario to also offer a CAMPEP accredited field, leading to residency in related subspecialties.
We’re also one of the first schools in North America to offer a graduate-level program in the emerging field of Complex Systems. This exciting, rapidly expanding field offers physicists many possible career directions across a broad range of interdisciplinary areas.

“As a graduate student, you are made to feel like a colleague working with very smart people to solve real-world problems. I have felt cared for and valued here.” – Humza Nusrat
