Bachelor of Science in Physics (Honours) (Co-op)

University of Waterloo

Study the most fundamental aspects of nature in one of Canada’s largest and most innovative physics departments. Physics at Waterloo offers award winning teaching, 20 months of optional co op experience, and partnerships with one of the world's leading institutes for research and training in foundational theoretical physics. Join a program that fosters curious minds to question the smallest particles, the largest forces, and everything in between. Where you'll get the support you need to succeed (and maybe win a Nobel Prize like Waterloo professor Donna Strickland or be part of a team to take the first image of a black hole, like professor Avery Broderick). Choose from a broad range of courses in applied physics, astrophysics, biophysics, chemical physics, mathematical physics, and quantum computing. Then supplement your learning with hands on labs and tutorials. Over the course of your degree, you’ll develop the strong quantitative and analytic skills that industry is looking for. Learn from top physicists. Be sure to take advantage of public lectures at the nearby Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, located just south of campus.
