Program Overview

What happened to anti-matter after the big bang? What is the origin of mass in the universe? What are the fusion nuclear reactions in the core of the sun? What gives a particular material super-conducting properties? Physics is the study of the most basic building blocks of matter, from the smallest particles to the largest structures of the universe, from the beginning to the end. Engage in subatomic and medical physics.
An Applied Physics (Honours) and a professionally accredited Engineering Physics (BEng) program are also available.

Streams
Our Physics (Honours) has three streams: Astrophysics, Experimental, and Theory; or can be combined with Biology, Chemistry or Mathematics.

Capital Advantage
Our department’s location in the nation’s capital places you within the highest concentration of scientific and technical expertise in the country, providing unparalleled access to both personnel and technical facilities.

Work Experience
A Co-op option is available. Through Co-op, students have an opportunity to apply academic studies to a real work environment as well as to explore various career possibilities. Placements are available at local high-tech companies, government laboratories or health care institutions in the Ottawa region and beyond.

Exceptional Faculty
Our faculty is actively engaged in intensive research in particle physics and medical physics. You’ll benefit from their expertise, passion and experiences and have opportunities to work alongside them in your capstone research project.

Scholarships

Carleton University has one of the most generous scholarship and bursary programs in Canada. Last year, more than 15,000 scholarships and bursaries totaling over $31.9 million were awarded to undergraduate students.


Entrance Scholarships

If you have been admitted to Carleton with an admission average of 80 percent or better and meet language requirements, you will automatically be considered for a renewable entrance scholarship. The admission average we use is calculated from the marks submitted by your high school in support of your application. Entrance scholarships are offered for fall entry only. You may be offered a renewable entrance scholarship provided you are entering Carleton for the first time and have no previous attendance at post secondary educational institutions. If eligible when admitted to Carleton, the scholarship value will be determined by your admissions average as calculated at the time of admission. Entrance scholarship offers are not assessed or reassessed on final high school grades.

If you are an excellent student transferring from another Canadian university or college program to a full-time undergraduate program at Carleton, you may be eligible for one of our scholarships for transfer students.
