Study the natural world at its most fundamental level. Learn about physics, the science upon which all other sciences and technologies are based.

In the first two years at UNBC, you will take courses in:

• mechanics, waves, thermal physics, electricity and magnetism
• modern physics, including relativity and quantum theory, and their applications
• mathematics and computer programming

Build on that foundation in your third and fourth years with courses in:

• quantum mechanics
• electromagnetic theory and radiation
• electronics
• optics
• statistical-mechanics
• nuclear and particle physics
• condensed matter physics
• special-topics courses
• research-oriented, project-type courses

You can also complete a joint degree in Physics combined with another discipline such as Mathematics, Chemistry, or Computer Science.

The Bachelor of Science Honours program in Physics involves supervised research experience for proceeding to postgraduate studies in physics or related fields.

Because it is so basic, a major in physics is ideal preparation, not only for further study in physics but also for advanced study in such diverse fields as biophysics, medicine, astrophysics, chemical physics, engineering, meteorology, and computer science.
