PSI is a master’s-level course in theoretical physics designed to bring highly qualified and exceptionally motivated graduate students to the cutting edge of theoretical physics in an inclusive training environment.
This unique Master’s program, in partnership with the University of Waterloo, seeks not only students with stellar undergraduate physics and/or mathematics track records, but also those with diverse backgrounds, collaborative spirit, creativity, and other attributes that will set them apart as future innovators.
Applications are now being accepted for Perimeter Scholars International (PSI), the unique 10-month master’s program at Canada’s Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in partnership with the University of Waterloo. Features of the program include:
- No application fee.
- Removal of financial barriers: most students who receive and accept offers of admission to PSI will receive a full scholarship. Perimeter Institute also helps with travel arrangements and any immigration arrangements necessary.
- Exposure to the full breadth of theoretical physics topics.
- Students are taught by leading minds in theoretical physics while earning a Master’s degree from the University of Waterloo.
- Academic excellence, inclusion, collaboration, creativity and innovation which are pillars of PSI values.
- Conducting research-driven coursework alongside some of the world’s leading theoretical physicists.
- PSI recruits worldwide: 85% of students come from outside of Canada
- PSI seeks extraordinary talent who may have non-traditional academic backgrounds, but have demonstrated exceptional scientific aptitude.
