Physics (Faculty of Science)


Overview

Physics is crucial to understanding how the universe functions, from atoms and subatomic particles to stars, galaxies and cosmological bodies. Physics explores the most fundamental measurable quantities of energy and matter and their patterns and relationships in time and space, translating into theories, formulas and laws.聽

The goal of physics is ambitious: to find and understand the laws that govern everything in the Universe, from the behaviour of the smallest building blocks of matter to the structure of the space-time and the Universe itself. Therefore, regardless of specialty, a physicist is constantly wondering how to discover new phenomena, understand them, improve current theories and techniques to do so, and figure out how they all fit together.聽

If you are intrigued by these questions, the BSc. Physics Major might be the perfect fit for you. The program covers general physics, quantum physics, advanced calculus, electricity, magnetism and mechanics. You can also take courses in biophysics, astrophysics, computational physics, electronics, climate physics and more.
