Our Honours Physics program equips you for leadership roles in academic and industrial research while addressing the demands of Canada's competitive high-tech sector. With small class sizes and distinguished faculty, the program offers both thesis and non-thesis paths, including a co-op opportunity.
You'll engage in core physics courses featuring practical lab work, alongside advanced studies in mathematics, chemistry, and programming. Strategic course selection enables minors in Computer Science, Mathematics, or Business. We also provide interdisciplinary Honours BSc programs combining Chemistry and Physics, plus dual majors like Physics/Computer Science or Physics/Mathematics.
Physics reveals the universe's inner workings—exploring nature's fundamental forces and their impact on matter and our environment.
This understanding drives technological innovation and offers profound insights into natural phenomena. A physics degree cultivates analytical, mathematical, experimental, and computational skills that open doors beyond traditional science careers—including medicine, dentistry, business, and law. Physics students typically thrive on scientific experimentation, computational challenges, complex problem-solving, and creative innovation.
All physics specializations meet the prerequisites for professional school admissions across Canada and the United States.
