Program details
Overview
This Physics program leads to a Bachelor of Science and focuses on the laws of nature governing physical phenomena, developing understanding through both experimentation and theory. First-year requirements include introductory physics with labs, introductory calculus with labs, matrix or linear algebra, a course from chemistry, applied science, or computer science, and general electives. Classes are kept small and student-focused, and paid positions as tutors or lab assistants become available to students after their first year, alongside paid summer research opportunities that can include placements at international research facilities such as CERN. Students have the option to complete an undergraduate thesis, and the program encourages interdisciplinary or combined degrees across faculties. Delivery is on campus at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. The program suits students interested in problem-solving and experimentation who are aiming toward careers or further study in computing, technology, medicine, dentistry, education, geophysics, meteorology, or oceanography, particularly those who want early access to research experience and small-class instruction as preparation for graduate work in physics or a related field.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: For applicants presenting the International Baccalaureate Diploma, Acadia University requires the IB Diploma including IB English with an overall score of 24 or better; a score of 30 or higher earns 30 hours of university credit. IB Mathematics (Analysis and Approaches or Applications and Interpretations, SL or HL) must be completed with a grade of 4 or better, and IB Physics is recommended. Applicants who have completed IB courses but do not hold the diploma are considered on their coursework, with credit given for higher-level courses graded 5, 6 or 7.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Acadia does not publish year-specific application deadlines: its live admissions pages state only that domestic and international undergraduate applicants may apply any time after September 21st, with March 1st as the priority date for entrance-scholarship consideration (decisions by mid-April); no year is attached to either date. Admission is otherwise rolling, with no separate international closing date published. The Bachelor of Education programme has its own cycle, opening October 1st, but as of September 2026 the page still shows the stale 2025-2026 cycle and no current-cycle date has been published. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
