Applied Microbiology (formerly 'Industrial Microbiology')

How to Apply

Non-UTSC Students (including graduating high school students):

Complete the appropriate application for admission. If you are uncertain about which application to use, see our Admissions website.

Your application is processed initially at the Ontario Universities Application Centre (OUAC) which then sends your application details to U of T. After you apply, you will receive an acknowledgement of your application from OUAC, and also from U of T directly, that will include an Application Guide with instructions about documents to be submitted directly to U of T.

Receive the outcome of your application from U of T directly.

Applied Microbiology is not a direct entry program. If you are applying to first year studies, you will apply for admission to the program after the completion of your first year. Instructions will be given to current UTSC students in March on how to apply for program admission. Request the program through ROSI.

If you are transferring from another post-secondary institution, or from another division of U of T, you will normally be given a decision about admission to the program at the point of admission to UTSC. You will need to have taken courses that are eligible for transfer credits that are equivalent to UTSC first year cources required for the program.

Current UTSC students:

The Registrar's Office issues the course calendar and registration guides, normally towards the end of March. Instructions will be given on how to request the program through ROSI.

Students alreaady holding a University Degree:

Instead of applying to UTSC to work towards a 2nd degree, we recommend that you apply to the 2-year (fast-track) Biotechnology Technologist-Industrial Microbiology Program at Centennial College.
