Program details
Overview
Astrophysics is an undergraduate specialization offered by the Department of Physics, Engineering Physics & Astronomy, available as a major, minor, or specialization within the Bachelor of Science (Honours) alongside Physics and Mathematical Physics. Students begin with a common first year within the Faculty before choosing their focus. In second and third year, coursework covers classical mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, advanced laboratory work, relativity, and quantum mechanics; fourth-year students can take specialized courses in topics such as nanoscience, medical physics, lasers, nuclear and particle physics, solid state physics, and general relativity. Students have opportunities to work in research laboratories and on interdisciplinary and international collaborations, including dark matter and neutrino experiments at SNOLAB. A combined Bachelor of Science (Honours) and Master of Science option and an internship option are also available.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Queen's Faculty of Arts and Science admits science applicants under the Science admission category (QS), which covers Biology and Cognitive Sciences (QSB), Mathematics and Statistics (QSM) and Physical and Chemical Sciences (QSP) sub-groups — including plans such as Astrophysics, Chemistry, Earth Systems Science, Mathematical Physics, Physics & Astronomy, Biology-Mathematics, and the Environmental Science, Environmental Chemistry, Environmental Geology, Environmental Life Sciences and Environmental Toxicology plans. Ontario Secondary School Diploma applicants need six 4U/4M courses: English 4U and Calculus and Vectors 4U are mandatory, plus two of Biology 4U, Chemistry 4U or Physics 4U chosen to match the intended plan's prerequisites, and two further courses at the 4U or 4M level. Recent admission cycles have required a low-80s overall average for this category. Applicants apply through the OUAC and submit official transcripts; applicants whose first language is not English, or who have not studied long enough in English, must also meet Queen's English Language Proficiency requirement. No supplementary application is required for general Science entry.
