Getting Started in Undergraduate Research

Undergraduate research in the Department of Physics is an important and unique aspect of a physics undergraduate experience at the University of Toronto. It provides you with hands-on research opportunities that reinforces your technical and problem-solving skills that are of use in virtually every endeavour, whether it is in employment after your undergraduate studies or subsequent post-graduate work.

There are several options for such experiences, including supervised study courses, research project courses and several immersive summer research fellowships. Participation in such research requires initiative on your part. Please see the presentation linked below to learn how to approach these opportunities. You can also reach out to the Supervised Course Coordinator, Prof. Pekka Sinervo, at physics.ugresearch@utoronto.ca if you have any questions.
