Admission Note


Effective September 2015, students who have not completed one of PHYSICS 1B03 , 1C03  or 1L03  will be considered for admission, however, these units must be replaced with a course selected from the Science I Course List. For such students, PHYSICS 1A03  or PHYSICS 1B03  must be completed by the end of Level II. Effective September 2016, PHYSICS 1A03  or 1C03  will be required for admission.

Admission


Enrolment in this program is limited and possession of the published minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Admission is by selection but requires, as a minimum, completion of any Level I program with a Grade Point Average of at least 6.0 including:
