University of Toronto (UTM) - Mississauga campus
Information about applying for exchange studies at University of Toronto.
One or more elective courses have to be additionally selected when going on exchange to Toronto for a research project. This is mandatory to obtain a full-student visa in Canada. Read more about life as an international student at the University of Toronto.
If students are interested in going on exchange to the University of Toronto Mississauga (undergraduate campus) to do research, the process has changed a few times over the last 18 months, but currently you should reach out early to their international coordinator Andrew Sedmihradisky (andrew.sedmihradsky@utoronto.ca) and he can put you in touch with staff in the Experiential Education Unit (EEU) – who will assist you in finding a project/supervisor. Please do so as early as possible so you will have an idea of whether research in your area of interest is possible. The EEU can walk you through the process and help you find a project in the ROP program on UTM's website. All research areas are potentially possible, but they vary from year to year depending on which professors have submitted projects or not.
Students studying at the University of Toronto need to take a minimum of 1.5 U of T credits per semester. Assuming your research project is worth 1.0 credits, you’d need to take at least 1 (and up to 3) more 0.5 credit course. Students can view the courses available in an academic year using the UTM Timetable linked below – if you need a detailed syllabus for a particular course you can reach out to Andrew and he can download it for you.
