Dear Colleague,
Each year, Canada’s Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics recruits approximately 30 exceptional students for an immersive, 10-month physics boot camp: Perimeter Scholars International (PSI). This unique Master’s program, in cooperation 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.
Features of the program include:
- All student costs (tuition, living) are covered, removing financial and/or geographical barriers to entry
- Courses spanning the full breadth of theoretical physics, taught by world-leading theoretical physicists – Perimeter researchers and visiting scientists.
- Students learn within the inspiring environment of Perimeter Institute while earning a Master of Science from the University of Waterloo
- Collaboration is valued over competition; deep understanding and creativity are valued over rote learning and examination
- PSI recruits worldwide: 85 percent of students come from outside of Canada
- PSI takes calculated risks, seeking extraordinary talent who may have non-traditional academic backgrounds but have demonstrated exceptional scientific aptitude
PSI is now accepting applications for the class of 2019/2020. Please help share this opportunity with colleagues, students, or groups who may be interested:
Applications are due by February 1, 2019.
Thank you in advance for helping share this unique opportunity for emerging physics talent.
Best regards,
James Forrest
Academic Programs Director
