MSc in Physics in St. Johns Canada | Memorial University of Newfoundland

The Department of Physics and Physical Oceanography at Memorial University of Newfoundland boasts a renowned graduate program supported by decades of research excellence. Since Memorial University launched its graduate studies in 1960, our department has provided MSc programs, expanding to include PhD studies in 1969. Today, our graduate students work alongside globally recognized faculty members who maintain extensive international networks. Our research initiatives benefit from substantial funding through NSERC, CFI, and other institutions, while our cutting-edge laboratories and computing resources provide exceptional research environments.

Physical oceanography research encompasses theoretical, computational, experimental, and observational approaches to planetary fluid dynamics, glacial ice sheet movements, acoustic monitoring techniques, instrumentation innovation, and global climate simulations. Our condensed matter physics research spans three primary areas: hard condensed matter (focusing on high-melting-point solids, extreme low temperatures, and quantum phenomena); soft condensed matter (examining liquids, colloids, polymers, proteins, lipids, and biological structures); and applied physics (covering sensor technology and photonics).

Additional physics research specialties include particle physics and black hole studies.

MSc Programs - We offer MSc degrees in either Physics or Physical Oceanography. These programs require four courses plus a thesis and typically take two years of full-time study to complete.
