Music for non-U of T Students Exchange & Visiting Students
Overview
What to expect
Study music at a major world university in the core of an exciting multicultural city. The Faculty of Music at the University of Toronto provides exchange and visiting students opportunities to participate in rewarding learning experiences. Classical, jazz, and world music courses in performance, theory, technology, history, and culture are among our offerings.
Why it stands out
Students are taught in excellent facilities by musicians and scholars of international distinction. Living in Toronto, the fourth largest city in North America, they experience a thriving cultural milieu. In historic concert and opera halls, outdoor festivals, happening clubs, and neighbourhood parks, the music scene embraces sounds of all places, styles, and genres.
Who it's for
This program is designed for talented, motivated students seeking to broaden their academic and life horizons. Program students develop new skills, gain new perspectives, and become true global citizens.
Exchange Students
The inbound exchange program is open to students from partner institutions who are in good academic standing, meet our English language requirements, and are able to demonstrate the ability to perform at the university level on their major instrument.
Exchange applicants must apply through the inbound exchange office. Begin by finding your home institution on the inbound-exchange website and following the steps to apply.
Visiting Students
Students wishing to complete their last year at U of T Music, or to visit for a year while receiving their degree from another institution, must present a "Letter of Permission" and official transcripts from their home university, meet the academic requirements of the University of Toronto, and complete an audition/interview (if seeking to take performance courses). An academic advisor from the home university should be consulted with regard to the equivalencies of courses offered here at the Faculty of Music, to ensure concordance with degree requirements. All programs begin in September.
Applying early is recommended, as space availability may be an issue.
