Pharmaceutical Sciences

Pharmaceutical Sciences encompass all aspects of the delivery, development, administration, and utilization of therapeutic drugs. The programs provide a stimulating and productive environment for graduate education and research for students with degrees in physical, biological, and social sciences. Research-intensive programs of study are offered in a wide range of areas leading to Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.

Graduate students may also participate in a wide variety of collaborative specializations offered at the University of Toronto and/or internships which provide the opportunity to gain experience in a pharmaceutical or biotech company or in global health placements around the world.

International graduate students in the department of pharmaceutical sciences make up a vibrant part of the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy Community. We anticipate a limited number of funded spaces for international applicants in 2024-2025 (1-2 spaces maximum). We encourage all interested international applicants to carefully research faculty members in the Graduate Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and their areas of research before applying. International students may also wish to contact faculty members in advance of submitting their application. Securing a supervisor before applying is not required.  Please consult the graduate faculty website to search for supervisors accepting students for 2024-2025.
