Bachelor of Mathematics in Mathematical Physics (Honours) (Co-op) in Waterloo Canada | University of Waterloo

In Mathematical Physics, you'll merge theoretical physics with advanced mathematics courses covering differential equations, vector calculus, and applied mathematics. The program offers extensive practical application through laboratory work in mechanics, electromagnetism, computer programming, optics, and other areas. Waterloo stands out as an exceptional study destination, boasting Canada's largest Faculty of Mathematics and one of the country's most progressive Physics departments. This program includes an optional co-op component, allowing students to accumulate up to two years of paid professional experience during their studies. Through alternating academic terms and paid work placements, you can explore various career paths as your professional interests develop. Sophisticated mathematical approaches are becoming increasingly crucial in both fundamental and applied physics research, fueling advancements in technology (such as quantum optics and nanotechnology) and theoretical physics (including cosmology and quantum information theory). Consequently, the Department of Applied Mathematics, in partnership with the Physics Department, has established an undergraduate program called "Mathematical Physics."
