Admission
Enrolment in this program is limited. Admission is by selection, and possession of the published minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Selection is based on academic achievement and an interview but requires, as a minimum, submission of the on-line application by the stated deadline, and completion of Level II of an Honours program offered by the Department of Physics and Astronomy with a Grade Point Average of at least 5.0 including:
0-3 units
from the following courses, if not completed in Level I
Note:
Information about the program and the selection procedure may be obtained from Science Career and Cooperative Education and the Chair of the Committee of Instruction.
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 prior to the Fall term of Level III. Students are required complete SCIENCE 3C00 before the first work placement.
- Students interested in computational and theoretical physics and especially those considering postgraduate studies in this area should take the following courses: DATASCI 3ML3 , MATH 2LA3 (or MATH 2R03 if they plan to take Level III Mathematics courses for which it is a prerequisite), 2T03, PHYSICS 3A03 , 3C03 , 4B03 , 4F03 , 4G03 , plus six additional units from Levels III, IV, V Astronomy, Mathematics, Physics.
- Students interested in experimental physics and especially those considering postgraduate studies in this area should take the following courses: DATASCI 4X03 , ENGPHYS 3BA4 , 3BB4 , PHYSICS 3N04 .
- Students interested in geophysics should consider taking EARTHSC 2E03 , 3V03 and 4V03 .
- Completion of DATASCI 2G03 (or PHYSICS 2G03) is required by the end of Level III and is strongly recommended in Level II.
