Program details

Overview

The Master of Science in Physics at Bishop's University is a thesis-based graduate program offered by the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Students develop a deeper understanding of physics while gaining comprehensive exposure to research methodology, building the skills needed to work as independent researchers. Active research areas include astrophysics (stellar and binary evolution, exoplanets, multi-messenger astrophysics), gravitation and cosmology (modified gravity, gravitational and cosmological theory, black holes), and theoretical physics (quantum field theory, solitons and instantons, particle physics). The program admits students in both the Fall and Winter terms and takes approximately two and a half years to complete as a thesis-based degree. Full program requirements, including thesis supervision and course components, are set out in the university's Academic Calendar.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: This M.Sc. program's own page states no subject-specific admission criteria — no prerequisite degree, minimum GPA, references, or interview requirement is published — and links to Bishop's general admission requirements page, which lists Master of Science (MSc) Applicants as a single category without department-specific academic criteria. All applicants must meet the university's general English-language proficiency requirement. Programme-specific prerequisites for the Physics M.Sc. should be confirmed directly with the Department of Physics, as none are published on either page.
