Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Physics with Thesis

University of Windsor

Our Honours Physics program is designed to prepare you for leadership positions in both academic and industrial research and to meet the competitive employment needs of the Canadian high-technology industry. We offer small class sizes and award-winning faculty. Honours Physics may be taken with or without a thesis option, and a co-op option is also available.You will participate in a wide array of fundamental physics courses, many with hands-on laboratory components, as well as classes covering advanced mathematics, chemistry, and computer programming. Choosing options carefully allows for such minors as Computer Science, Mathematics or Business. We also offer multidisciplinary Honours BSc degrees in Chemistry and Physics and combined double majors such as Physics and Computer Science or Physics and Mathematics.The study of physics allows us to understand how the universe works-from the fundamental forces of nature to their effects on matter and the environment around us.This knowledge enables the development of future technologies and provides a deeper insight into nature. The reasoning, mathematical, experimental and computer skills acquired while earning a physics degree empower our graduates to pursue careers far outside the traditional boundaries of physics-or even science-including medicine, dentistry, business and law. Typically, physics students enjoy scientific experiments, computation and mathematics, as well as solving complex problems and developing new, innovative ideas.All physics streams are flexible enough to cover the requirements for admission into professional schools in Canada and the United States.
