Hello,
I am a first year undergraduate student at University of Toronto planning to pursue cosmology as a field of study in the future. There are currently two specialist programs being offered that relate to my interests (unfortunately, I was unable to find a direct link to the programs, so the reader will have to scroll down to get to the section listed as the specialist program; sorry about that). They are:
Mathematics and Physics Specialist
Astronomy and Physics Specialist
The programs provide course codes to various required and optional courses with links that lead to the course description.
My concern is as follows - will I be required to take certain courses in astronomy (eg. AST221, AST320 - links provided under Astronomy+Physics Specialist) to be able to grasp the advanced concepts in cosmology? I should mention that the only prerequisite to the advanced cosmology course is a 4th year general relativity course PHY484; thus it is not so much a matter of strict prerequisites, as it is of the required knowledge on my part.
However, this is the case in UofT. As I should also mention, I may choose - considering I get in - a different graduate school.
The deadline to enroll in the specialist program is 09/25/12. I will provide any other links required upon demand.
Thanks in advance,
Hitchens
