Participating Degree Programs
Astronomy and Astrophysics – MSc
Physics – MSc
The graduate programs listed above participate in the Collaborative Master of Science Program in Astrophysics. This program fosters graduate education in Astrophysics, particularly in those areas of study that overlap traditional departmental boundaries.
Upon certification by the Director that all requirements of the collaborative program have been fulfilled, the participating home department will recommend the granting of the MSc degree, and the designation “Completed Collaborative Program in Astrophysics” will appear on the transcript.

Degree Programs
Master's Level
Admission Requirements
- Applicants who wish to enrol in the collaborative program must apply to and be admitted to both the collaborative program and a graduate degree program in one of the collaborating departments; this being either Astronomy and Astrophysics or Physics.
- Applicants must submit a supplementary brief application form to the collaborative program Director (available from either home department or the collaborative program office).
Program Requirements
- Students must meet all respective degree requirements of the School of Graduate Studies and the home department. This will normally require the equivalent of 5.0 full-courses equivalents as follows:
- 1.5 or more FCE in Astronomy and Astrophysics
- 1.5 or more FCE in Physics
- 1.0 FCE from Astronomy and Astrophysics, Physics or a cognate department
- a supervised research project in the field of astrophysics, equivalent to 1.0 FCE. The supervised research project and associated report will be completed under the regulations of AST 1500Y for students whose home department is Astronomy and Astrophysics and under the regulations of PHY 3400Y for students whose home department is Physics.
- Students must attend the seminar program of the Canadian Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics and prepare a report on a selection of these seminars for submission to the Director.
- Program requirements are normally completed within twelve months of entry to the program.
