Overview
Physics is the basis of all other sciences and involves the study of space, time and energy. There is scarcely an area of modern life that is not affected by physics.
Physicists are highly trained scientists with knowledge of mathematics, computer programming, the design of complex instruments, and the analysis and interpretation of complex data sets. They are also versatile scientists, able to cross boundaries into other subjects like chemistry, biology, medicine, and earth and planetary sciences. Advances in physics often enable advances in new technologies. There is significant demand for physicists in the Canadian industry.
The innovative program in Applied Physics combines the best of modern physics instruction with practical knowledge in related fields.
Co-op Education
Co-op terms provide career-related work experience, job search skills, and a higher chance of obtaining full-time employment upon graduation. Work term placements for physics students are primarily in the technology sector. Placements can be in-province or out-of-province. Past employers have included cancer clinics, technology companies, universities and national labs.
- 16 months of co-op work experience with various employers, work environments, and locations by graduation.
- $8,000 – $13,000 earn per semester.
