Program details
Overview
This undergraduate degree in Bishop's University's Department of Physics and Astronomy, within the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, is offered as a Major over three or four years with Fall or Winter entry and on-campus delivery. The program combines theoretical frameworks with experimental techniques to cover the fundamental principles governing the natural world, including mechanics and thermodynamics, and pairs hands-on laboratory work with advanced coursework as students progress through the degree. Alongside subject-specific physics knowledge, the program is intended to build strong analytical and problem-solving skills applicable beyond physics itself. The department's faculty run externally funded research programs that hire undergraduate students, giving physics majors a potential route into research experience during their studies, though the program page does not detail specific admission prerequisites beyond the university's general requirements. The degree suits students with an interest in the physical sciences who want a program balancing classroom theory with laboratory experimentation, and who may be interested in pursuing undergraduate research opportunities through faculty-led projects. Because the page does not specify further target students or program variants, prospective applicants should consult the university's general admission requirements for particular Physics program prerequisites.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:80.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Bishop's Physics (B.Sc.) program page carries no requirements of its own and links to the general admission requirements page, summarised here. Canadian high-school applicants need five Grade 12 university-preparatory courses including Grade 12 English; Bishop's cites an estimated minimum admission average of 80% for all programs, though files are reviewed holistically rather than by strict cutoff. International high-school applicants normally need 12 years of schooling and a credential granting university access at home, with the minimum average assessed individually. Bachelor of Science applicants additionally need a Grade 12 mathematics course and two of Grade 12 Biology, Chemistry or Physics. English proficiency is required of every applicant, met by a Quebec DEC, three years of secondary schooling or 30 post-secondary credits in English or French, or a test: IELTS Academic 6.5 (no band below 6.0); TOEFL iBT 90/20 for tests before January 21, 2026, or 4.5/4.0 on the redesigned scale from that date; Cambridge B2 First/C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176; PTE Academic 65/60; Duolingo English Test 115/90; or LanguageCert Academic 70-74/65.
