The Doctor was also known to have attended the [[Prydonian Academy]] with the Master ([[PROSE]]: ''[[First Frontier (novel)|First Frontier]]'') and [[the Rani]]. [[Thermodynamics]] was his special subject. ([[TV]]: ''[[Time and the Rani (TV story)|Time and the Rani]]'') As the Doctor grew up, he came to understand that he and the Master were not the same. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') Following an incident at the Academy in which the Master did not keep his word, he and the Doctor had a falling out, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Last of the Gaderene (novel)|Last of the Gaderene]]'') eventually leading the Doctor to realise that the Master stood against everything he believed in.

According to a nightmare the [[Fifth Doctor]] had under the [[Celestial Toymaker]]'s influence, the First Doctor learned of the Toymaker when he was a youth at the Prydonian Academy. The Time Lords' data banks described him only as a vague legend. The Doctor and his friends [[Rallon]] and [[Millennia]] investigated the legend, travelling to the Toyroom in [[TARDIS (Divided Loyalties)|a stolen TARDIS]]. The Toymaker was in a dormant, disembodied state, but on their arrival, he possessed Rallon and made Millennia one of his living toys. The Doctor defeated him, and the Toymaker allowed him to leave, knowing that he would become an even more worthy opponent given time to mature. As punishment for his part in the apparent deaths of Rallon and Millennia, the Doctor was expelled from the Academy.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[Divided Loyalties (novel)|Divided Loyalties]]'') According to most accounts, however, the Doctor continued his education at the Academy and graduated. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Friendly Place (comic story)|The Friendly Place]]'', et. al) | ||
The Doctor earned a [[Higher-Dimensional Physics]] degree and was required to learn how to envision a superimposed array of 208 different 43-dimensional supersolids, taking eight years to master the skill. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Friendly Place (comic story)|The Friendly Place]]'') He passed his qualifying exams to become a Time Lord with only 51% — the lowest possible pass mark — on his second attempt. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Ribos Operation (TV story)|The Ribos Operation]]'') A low mark on an essay about [[temporal mechanics]] that he wrote contributed to his low passing grade. Even years later, however, he insisted the paper deserved a higher mark. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'') By one account, his low grades were a deliberate ploy to not to draw undue attention to himself, so he could eventually leave Gallifrey, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Tears of the Oracle (novel)|Tears of the Oracle]]'') while other accounts indicated they were the grades he truthfully deserved. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'', et. al) He graduated with "only" a double gamma. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Rani Elite (audio story)|The Rani Elite]]'') The Doctor graduated with the Master in the [[Panopticon]].
