Pre‑Application Form

PLEASE NOTE: Pre-Applications for admission are not reviewed during the summer term (May 1^st to August 31^st). Please submit after September 1^st.

Admission into the graduate program is conditional on finding a thesis supervisor.

The Department of Physics and Atmospheric Science has a minimum GPA requirement of 3.7 for graduate program admissions. We recommend an optional pre-application process to determine whether you meet our requirements and to help you identify a potential supervisor prior to submitting a formal application. When applying, please include a CV and Research Statement as well as transcript(s) in one PDF file. If applying to the PhD program, please include both undergrad and MSc transcripts.
Note: All transcripts need to be accompanied by the university’s grading scale.

Following submission of your pre-application, you are encouraged to contact potential supervisors directly.

After review your pre-application by members of the Department, the Graduate Secretary will contact you to advise you whether you should proceed with a formal application.
