Physics (BSc)

Program Information

School:Concordia University
Faculty:Faculty of Arts and Science
Degree:Bachelor; Co-op; Honours
Field of Study:Physics, General
Description:Studying Physics sends you on a journey to the end of the universe or into the centre of an atom. When you study the science of energy and matter, you examine the dynamics of a relationship that has kept great thinkers busy for millennia. Today physicists build lasers, design medical imaging machines and develop applications for nanotechnology. So if you’re ready, sharpen your reasoning skills and open your mind — physics is a discipline that demands as much curiosity as it does strength in mathematics.

As a Physics student, you’ll choose the Physics option, or examine the role of physics in the life sciences in the Biophysics option. You’ll receive a thorough foundation in all branches of physics, including mathematics, classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, quantum mechanics and modern and theoretical physics.

Graduates leave the program with the knowledge and creative thinking skills required for graduate studies or a career in the pure or life sciences.
