Although a Ph.D. candidate will normally hold a Master's degree, it is possible for a Master's candidate to transfer registration directly to a Ph.D. program without completing the Master's program. Exceptionally strong students may apply to transfer directly to a Ph.D. program from a M.A.Sc. program, without first completing all of the M.A.Sc. degree requirements, by fast-tracking. Information on this option is available in our Degree Regulations.

Important Note: The University of Toronto does not have the resources to admit all qualified applicants; meeting the minimum requirements does NOT guarantee admission. The application process requires considerable amounts of your time and some expense in terms of a non-refundable application fee. We therefore encourage you to consider carefully before submitting an application. The application package and fee will not be returned to unsuccessful applicants. The University does not provide free preliminary assessments of credentials.
