Program Description
This four-year bachelor of science program explores everything from the smallest nucleus to the farthest galaxies. Students learn the fundamentals giving them a strong foundation to build on. Students can choose their direction of study by selecting courses in subatomic and particle physics, astronomy and cosmology. People who study physics want to learn how the universe works. Their curiosity takes them from the realm of the very tiny – the structure of an atom's nucleus to the very big – the structure of the universe – and everywhere in between! Students can learn about astrophysics and cosmology through one of Atlantic Canada’s largest astronomical telescopes right here at the Grenfell Observatory. Or students can explore the fundamentals of electricity and magnetism, quantum mechanics, geophysics, and particle physics. Students can shape their program so they concentrate on what most intrigues them.
