About Bachelor of Science - Physics (Optional Co-op)
Physics involves observing and understanding natural phenomena. It is evident in the world from the seasons, the motion of objects, the flight of birds, the night sky and the weather, to lasers, electronics and the technology society relies on today.
Physics is very much a “hands-on” science, so the most effective way for students to learn the subject is to actually do physics. Astronomy teaches students how to study objects at a distance and interpret the information gathered. This helps to begin to understand the universe humans live in. The skills students will learn in astronomy are also applicable to remote sensing and its application to environmental problems.
The department offers a comprehensive physics major. The foundation of this program is built in the first two years, as students study mechanics, waves, electricity and magnetism, optics, thermal physics and modern physics.
In the third and fourth years, students will gain a deeper understanding of the fundamentals and delve into more advanced and specialized areas. Specialized topics may include the research interests of department faculty members, as all faculty members are involved in rigorous research programs.
Faculty members also ensure students are provided with a wide view of physics, exposing them to all areas of the subject and describing a wide variety of applications. This enables students to make informed decisions when choosing the areas they may wish to pursue in the future.
