Summer Courses for High-School and Undergraduate Students
The AEMS Academy offers one-week summer courses for highly motivated high-school and undergraduate students with an aptitude in the sciences and mathematics. This summer, students can explore two frontier areas of modern STEM: fusion energy and photonics.
Available Courses
Each course introduces students to a major scientific and technological field through interdisciplinary concepts, real-world applications, and exposure to current research directions.
Explore the physics and engineering principles behind fusion energy, from plasma behaviour and confinement to materials, diagnostics, and the challenge of building future energy systems.
Investigate how light is generated, controlled, measured, and applied across optics, materials science, communications, medicine, sensing, computing, and modern engineering.
Registration
A limited number of seats are available at special registration rates. Students may apply using the official AEMS Academy application form.
Limited-seat pricing is available for a select number of applicants. Interested applicants requiring partial financial assistance to facilitate course enrollment are invited to send an explanatory email including the rationale for the request, to aems.uoft@gmail.com.
