FAQ

Who do we consider for the MSc?

Students who have a Bachelor’s degree from nearly any country. One exception is India where a four-year degree is required. Most Bachelor’s in India are three-year degrees.

Who do we consider for the PhD?

Students who have a two-year Masters’s degree can and should be considered for the PhD. However, in some countries (India, UK and US) the Master’s is typically not sufficient for our PhD program — it is either an extended undergraduate degree (India and UK) or a milestone along to PhD (US). This is a departmental-level choice. We would like our PhD applicants to have completed a Master’s program similar to a Canadian Master’s degree.

Do we look at GRE scores?

No. In fact the GRE file often messes up the document merge, so it might not even be included in the dossier.

Do we look at language scores?

Not in the first round. Because of difficulties with taking the exams during COVID-19, we will look at the language scores only for the students to whom we wish to make offers and contact those who don’t have satisfactory marks. We have been following a similar policy in previous years.

What is triage?

A subset of the full committee will examine all of the applications and determine those applicants that are at least somewhat likely to get an offer for an MSc position. In particular, duplicated, doctoral and non-responsive applications will be removed from consideration by the whole committee.

How do I grade the applications?

There are six categories and we are looking for your quick impression in each one.

1. Academic preparation: 0-3 (focus only physics, mathematics, astronomy at higher levels)
   • 0: mostly not As or Bs
   • 1: mostly Bs
   • 2: mostly As and Bs
   • 3 : nearly all As
2. Research Potential
   • Prior research experience or research potential (letter, samples and essay): 0-2
     0: letters, writing sample and essay give little evidence of research potential
     1: letters, writing sample or essay give modest evidence of research potential
     2: letters, writing sample or essay give strong evidence of research potential by outlining specific research contributions or well-thought-out research plans and interest.
   • Perseverance: 0-2 (0 no or little evidence of perseverance, 1 modest evidence, 2 unusually strong)
   • Independence: 0-1 (0 no or little evidence of independence, 1 strong evidence)
   • Research fit with UBC: 0-1 (0 no useful discussion of research at UBC, 1 thoughtful discussion)
   • Communication skills: 0-1 (0 poor writing; 1 good writing)

In each category you should think about having your grades be evenly spaced to maximize how you distinguish the students. What I mean here is for “Communication Skills” you should have about the same number of zeros and ones.

I will take your marks and sum them to get a number from 0-10, and I will rank them and convert your ranks to deciles (0-10 again). These deciles will be combined using the median with those of the other reviewers to generate a combined ranking.

What do the applicants and referees see?

Introduction

Welcome, Physics & Astronomy Applicants! 

We look forward to learning more about you. Please note that your online application form must be submitted and the fee paid by December 1. Your referees will have until December 15 to submit their references. You have until December 15 to upload all the supplemental PDF documents (including your CV, transcripts, statement of interest/intent, and sample of scholarly writing).

Evaluation Rubric

Your application will be evaluated by a team of faculty members in the department of physics and astronomy to assess your suitability for our program according to the following criteria:

1. Academic preparation (30%) as determined from your transcripts and assessments from your referees.
2. Research preparation (70%) as determined from your CV, statement of intent and the assessments from your referees.  The particular criteria that we focus on are:
   1. Prior research experience (20%)
   2. Perseverance (20%)
   3. Independence (10%)
   4. Research fit with UBC (10%)
   5. Communication Skills (10%)

Your referees will be asked to write and evaluate you according to these criteria, so please consider this when choosing your references. 

If your potential supervisor at UBC knows you well enough to provide an assessment according to these criteria, their assessment would be useful, but it would comprise just one component in the overall assessment of your application, and it is not necessary.  Most of our successful applicants do not have a specific supervisor in mind.

Composition of the Evaluation Committee

The evaluation committee consists of faculty members from across a wide range of disciplines in physics and astronomy.  Your application may be reviewed by faculty members both within and outside of your chosen discipline.

Statement of Interest

Please upload a single PDF file to address the following four criteria:  perseverance, independence, teamwork and community, and research experience and fit.  Please use the following headings in your document.

• Perseverance (200 words): Describe a challenge in your studies or research that you’ve faced and how you overcame it.
• Independence (200 words): What experience do you have working independently and managing your own time (in research or otherwise)? How would you approach developing and managing a research project?
• Teamwork and community (200 words): We have over 200 graduate students in UBC’s department of physics and astronomy. Accepted students will be working together in coursework and research, and a supportive peer community is an important part of the student experience at UBC. What does a positive working environment mean for you? How would you contribute to a welcoming, inclusive environment at UBC? 
• Research experience and research fit with UBC (500 words): Describe one or more research experiences you have had. How did this shape your decision to apply to graduate school? What areas of research are you interested in pursuing for your graduate degree at UBC, and why? How will your previous experiences help you to succeed in your graduate research goals?  Please list publications and other sources that are cited in your statement.
  

We use the assessments from your referees to get to know you and to evaluate your suitability for our program.  A useful reference will address our evaluation criteria of academic and research preparation in detail.  Please keep this in mind when choosing your referees.

Instructions to Referees

Thank you for taking the time to recommend an applicant to UBC. We would like that you upload a single letter that explicitly addresses the following characteristics of the candidate:

1. Academic preparation: the candidate has the academic preparation to succeed in graduate setting.
2. Research preparation: the candidate has experience that has prepared them to design, execute, analyze, and report on the outcome of a research project.
3. Perseverance: the candidate’s ability to overcome challenges they may face in a graduate setting or research environment.
4. Independence: the candidate is self-sufficient in identifying next steps and advancing their goals.
5. Communication Skills: the candidate communicates clearly, both verbally and in writing, to experts in their field, scientists outside of their field, and a general audience.
6. Teamwork and community: the candidate consistently engages with their colleagues respectfully, works well in a team, and contributes to a positive working environment.

We also invite you to rank the candidate relative to their peers.  (there are now explicit questions for each of the six areas above).

Individual Countries

Here are specific details of the requirements from various countries. There are additional subtleties for some countries, so some universities may use different grading schemes.

The individual country rankings below are from US News and go up to about 500-700 in the world in physics. For normalization Toronto is 30 in the world, UBC is 58 and Guelph is 731. The ranking for space sciences (also available on US News) are typically similar.
