The General (BSc) degree at Manitoba provides diversified training, giving students broad exposure to the major areas of science at the introductory level.

Physics explores the universe from the grandest to most minute; from the structure of the cosmos to the structure of sub-atomic particles and all the forces that hold them together and apart.

Astronomy and astrophysics examine the universe, galaxies and stars; stellar birth, evolution and death; how explosions of stars create fast-moving cosmic ray particles and pulsars; how the rotation of galaxies reveals the presence of dark matter; and cosmology and the evolution of the universe.
