Physical and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Toronto Scarborough

Through hands-on coursework and research opportunities, you’ll model, simulate and understand a wide range of physical and natural phenomena. Our courses follow a dynamic framework that takes you across the sciences, giving you both a firm mathematical foundation and a thorough exploration of astronomy, chemistry, computer science, physics and statistics. This program opens doors to a range of career paths, whether you want to teach, work for industries or the government, or continue your studies at the graduate level. 

You’ll develop the cutting-edge research skills and diverse knowledge needed to conduct team-based research with academics from a range of disciplines, and work in fast-paced environments. Gain the ability to interpret both how reliable your data is and how significant your results are, and use theoretical approaches, physical principles and qualitative and quantitative analysis to create solutions to problems. Throughout your studies, we also focus on honing communication abilities and practical skills that will help you thrive in the workforce, including expertise in writing technical reports and project proposals for target audiences, and delivering complex information through presentations and discussions.  

If you have wide-reaching interests that span the sciences, and include math, our program is a great fit. We give you the option to explore a range of disciplines, and emphasize making connections across subject areas.
