Physics Degrees
Physics is known as a "fundamental science" as it involves a true understanding of how the world really works. Physicists study universal laws governing matter, space, energy and time, and the interaction between these elements.
Note: In addition to meeting the admission requirements for the Faculty of Science, some programs may require specific course pre-requisites. These pre-requisites may be needed to register in the appropriate university courses and to ensure success in the program. See the course pre-requisite chart for more.

Geophysics The Geophysics program uses principles from Physics to understand the structure and dynamics of the Earth below its surface. Geophysical surveys can be used to locate energy sources, mineral and petroleum deposits, artifacts and more. By understanding the Earth's core, Geo-Physicists can also assess natural hazards like earthquakes and volcanoes.
