MSc Program

Effective January 21, 2026, TOEFL is implementing a new scoring scale from 1 to 6. In alignment with TOEFL‘s own comparison chart, the new minimum will be 4.5 overall, 4.5 in writing, and 4.0 in speaking, when the new scoring scale comes into effect.

Note: Submission of an EFT score is NOT required for applicants who have completed or expect to complete a program of study at a university where the language of instruction and examination is English. An official letter from the university confirming English instruction and examination will be required, unless there is an appropriate notation on the transcript.

Exceptional students with a BSc degree may be admitted to the direct-entry PhD program. Such students must have an academic average of "A" or higher in an honours Physics program or a program of comparable rigour in a closely related field. All applicants to the MSc program will automatically be considered for admission to the direct-entry PhD program. MSc. applicants interested in direct-entry PhD are not required to submit a separate application for PhD.
