BSc in Physics in Ottawa Canada | University of Ottawa

Physics pioneers have transformed modern living through innovative breakthroughs and cutting-edge technologies that extend into disciplines like biology and finance. Our faculty members and alumni play a crucial role in this ongoing progress. Numerous professors have earned accolades for both their teaching excellence and their status as leading global researchers in specialized domains.
Faculty research within the Physics Department focuses on key sub-disciplines, encompassing biological and complex systems physics, condensed matter studies, photonics, and geomaterials physics. Students can engage with these specialized fields through coursework and research initiatives tailored to their selected program.
Beyond the standard Honours BSc in Physics, we provide three specialized honors programs. The physics-mathematics track combines advanced mathematical instruction with core physics studies. The photonics specialization delivers comprehensive physics training alongside practical, industry-focused photonics education. The biological physics option equips students to apply physics principles to life science challenges. Our Major in Physics serves as a foundation for an Honours BSc when paired with another science major/minor or cross-faculty discipline. Additionally, beginning Fall 2016, we'll introduce a distinctive five-year dual degree combining Physics (BSc) and Electrical Engineering (BASc), developed in collaboration with SEECS. This integrated program delivers complete training in both fields, preparing graduates for high demand in both industrial and academic sectors as they'll master the full technology development cycle from fundamental physics concepts to finished products.
