Program details

Overview

The Joint Major in Physics and Geophysics combines physics, the study of matter, motion, energy, and force, with geophysics, the study of the physical processes and properties of the Earth and its surrounding space environment using quantitative methods of analysis. The program provides a foundation in both disciplines, preparing students to apply physical science methods to Earth-focused questions such as the structure and dynamics of the planet and its environment. Coursework spans the physics and geophysics departments within the Faculty of Science. The program is structured to support graduate work in geophysics and related fields, as well as direct entry into careers following graduation. Graduates are prepared for further study or work in geophysics, earth sciences, and other fields that require a combined physics and geophysical science background.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants apply through the Faculty of Science; the program page sets no admission criteria of its own. McGill's admission requirements vary by educational background (Quebec CEGEP or high school, Ontario high school, other Canadian high school, U.S. high school, international curricula, home-schooling, university transfer, or mature-student status); grades equal to or above the published minimums do not guarantee admission, and the review may consider the complete academic record.
