Notes Applicable to all Programs Offered by the Department of Physics and Astronomy
- The Department offers the following programs:
- Honours Astrophysics
- Honours Medical and Biological Physics
- Honours Physics
- These programs consist of a specified set of basic requirements and a wide choice of electives (including those from outside the Faculty of Science), allowing for interdisciplinary studies or the opportunity to complete a Minor in another subject. Students are encouraged to read the Program Notes of each program for a list of additional sets of courses which are appropriate preparation for graduate studies in Physics, Astronomy, Medical Physics or Biophysics.
- Transfer between options may be possible at any time, subject to satisfying the admission requirements.
- Admission to Honours Medical and Biological Physics Co-op and Honours Physics Co-op is in Level III.
- A Minor in Astronomy is not permitted in the Honours Medical and Biological Physics or Honours Physics programs.
- Students wishing to take additional Level III, IV Mathematics courses should consider MATH 2XX3 .
B.Sc. Three-Level Degree
A three-level program with a Physics orientation is available through the B.Sc. in Chemical and Physical Sciences .
