Bachelor of Science - Physics

4-Year Bachelor's Degree

Program Summary

Program Description

Through physics we attempt to understand natural phenomena in the world around us, ranging from the very small atomic nuclei and elementary particles to the very large scale of the universe. Physics is concerned with how fundamental laws influence observed phenomena which might include anything from batting a baseball to rocket dynamics. It includes fundamental theories such as those of dynamics, relativity, electricity, magnetism, thermodynamics, nuclear and elementary particles, and quantum mechanics.

Many Memorial University undergraduates are actively involved in physics research programs. This experience provides both summer employment and an excellent preparation for a career in industrial or university research.

The Department of Physics and Physical Oceanography is a member of the Atlantic Computational Excellence Network (ACEnet) for high performance computing and hosts several multi-processor machines locally. Facilities at most other universities in Atlantic Canada are linked by ACEnet’s Access Grid.

The Ocean Observatory at the Bonne May Marine Station includes an underwater station for the observation of water properties and marine ecology. The station is operated by Memorial University and the Gros Morne Co-operating Association.

In addition to the major, minor and honours options in physics, joint programs are offered in:

applied mathematics/physics (B.Sc. major and honours)
biochemistry/physics (B.Sc. honours)
chemistry/physics (B.Sc. honours)
computer science/physics (B.Sc. major and honours)
earth sciences/physics (B.Sc. major and honours)
geophysics/physical oceanography (B.Sc. honours)

Physics majors and honours students have the option to complete a minor in applied science (process engineering) through the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.

Direct admission to this major is not available at the time of application. Students must complete certain first-year courses and may need to meet minimum grade requirements before applying to the major.
