Program Notes
- This is a five-level (year) co-op program which includes two eight-month work terms which must be spent in physics related placements.
- Students must be registered full-time and take a full academic work load as prescribed by Level and Term.
- Students are required to complete SCIENCE 2C00 and SCIENCE 3C00 before the first work placement and are strongly recommended to complete SCIENCE 2C00 in Level II.
- Students interested in computational and theoretical physics and especially those considering postgraduate studies in this area should take the following courses: MATH 2R03 , 2T03 , PHYSICS 3A03 , 3C03 , 3N03 , 4B03 , 4G03 , plus six additional units from Levels III, IV Astronomy, Mathematics, Physics.
- Students interested in experimental physics and especially those considering postgraduate studies in this area should take the following courses: ENGPHYS 3BA3 , 3BB3 , 3N03 , 4B03 , 4E03 , 4F03 , 4K03 .
- Completion of PHYSICS 2G03 is required by the end of Level III and is recommended in Level II.
