Undergraduate Research
Medical Physics at Toronto Metropolitan University is an applied, hands-on program within a rich research environment. Even as an undergraduate, you’ll experience science as it’s authentically practiced in the lab — either with faculty members or nearby Toronto research hospitals. Some opportunities are even paid, with experience you can add to your resume even before you graduate.
"In my final year, I did a research project at St. Michael’s Hospital through funding from the NSERC-USRA award, and was grateful to have an all-expenses-paid trip to present it at the Canadian Undergraduate Physics Conference (CUPC) in Edmonton, Alberta."
