Physics encompasses everything from the infinitesimally small to the infinitely vast across space, time, and energy scales. It provides insights into the fundamental workings of the cosmos. Our graduate students engage in pioneering experimental and theoretical studies, utilizing world-class facilities including TRIUMF in Canada, multiple U.S. laboratories (Jefferson Lab, Fermilab, Brookhaven's Electron-Ion Collider), CERN in Europe, and Japan's Super-Kamiokande. We maintain institutional membership in both the Institute of Particle Physics and the Canadian Institute of Nuclear Physics.
The field of subatomic physics addresses profound scientific mysteries - from cosmic origins and universal evolution to the fundamental nature of matter, energy, spacetime, and the governing principles of nature's smallest constituents. Research in nuclear processes significantly influences various technologies, including energy production, medical isotopes, diagnostic imaging, and numerous other applications.
A BSc Honours degree (or equivalent) in physics or engineering physics is required for admission to the MSc program. A minimum average of 75% in all physics and mathematics courses, and an overall average of 70%, is required. In addition to the grades and recommendation letters, the overlap of the applicant's research interests with those of the department is also taken into account in the acceptance decision. International applicants are encouraged to write the GRE physics subject exam in addition to the TOEFL.
