Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Mathematics and Physics (Co-op) Carleton University, Canada

Carleton's Bachelor of Mathematics (BMath) programs ensure that you master traditional mathematical or statistical analysis while learning modern mathematical or statistical techniques and using advanced computer software. Our programs also provide training on emerging methods such as artificial intelligence (AI) and data mining.

Capital Advantage
You’ll benefit from our strong ties with institutions across the federal government well as leading high-tech firms out of Canada’s largest technology park, Kanata North.

Work Experience
A Co-op option is available. Co-op is the opportunity to get a head start on a career. Co-op work terms allow for the development of key employability skills, exploration of career options and graduation with tangible, workplace experience.

Concentrations
Customize your academic experience through any one of our concentration options.

Four Years: BMath and MSc
We also offer an elite BMath/MSc fast-track program in which high-achieving students can complete a Bachelor of Mathematics and a Master of Science in Mathematics in four years rather than six.

Combined Honours Programs
Incorporate courses in Mathematics and Statistics with those from other disciplines. Pursue a Bachelor of Science (Double Honours) in Mathematics and Physics or choose one of the following Combined Honours within the Bachelor of Mathematics: Computer Science and Mathematics; Economics and Mathematics; or Economics and Statistics.

Physics
Physics is the study of the most basic natural phenomena—from the smallest particles to the largest structures of the universe, from the beginning to the end. Physics is also the scaffolding behind the technology found in numerous current advances such as in smart phones, self-driving cars and radiation treatment of cancer. Physicists are keen to understand the nature of the world around them, as well as to control it for the betterment of humanity. They use their creativity to solve challenging problems, whether they are creating very powerful lasers for eye surgery, colliding particles at very-high energy, or descending deep down into underground mines to investigate the most basic building blocks of matter. Physicists look for and examine patterns in nature in order to formulate natural laws. They push scientific boundaries by exploring unknown territory through theory and experimentation, often thinking about and describing our physical world in ways that we cannot yet observe in nature.
