Program details
Overview
Medical Physics at the University of Winnipeg is a four-year Honours Bachelor of Science. Admission requires Physics 40S and Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S in addition to the university's general entrance requirements. The curriculum is interdisciplinary, applying electromagnetism, mathematics, and computer science to medical contexts, with research areas named on the program page including low-field magnetic resonance imaging, MRI and positron emission tomography for disease diagnosis, ultrasound, computed tomography, nuclear medicine, X-rays, and radiation therapy. Students have access to research participation and paid summer employment with research groups during the degree. The program is described as a pathway to the two-year Master of Science program in the Division of Medical Physics at CancerCare Manitoba, run jointly with the University of Manitoba, and toward Canadian College of Physicists in Medicine certification, which requires passing written examinations. Delivery is on the Winnipeg campus. The program suits students with a strong background in physics and mathematics who are aiming specifically at medical physics as a field, whether progressing directly into the CancerCare Manitoba graduate program and professional certification or using the Honours degree as preparation for medical school or other graduate study in a related physical science.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: In addition to The University of Winnipeg's general admission requirements, applicants must have Physics 40S and Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S. Applicants whose first language is not English, and who are not from an English-exempt country, must meet the university's English proficiency requirement, set out on The University of Winnipeg's own admission requirements page: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall; TOEFL iBT 4.5 overall with no component below 4.0 for tests taken on or after January 21, 2026 (86 overall with no component below 20 for tests taken before that date); Duolingo English Test 120; Pearson PTE Academic 58; CAEL 60 (CAEL online 70); LanguageCert Academic 67; or Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 180, with results no more than two years old. International applicants apply online through the university's application portal and pay a non-refundable CAD $120 application fee, with official transcripts sent directly from the issuing institution to the Admissions Office; recommended international deadlines are June 15 for Fall (September), October 15 for Winter (January), and February 15 for Spring (May), and applying three to four months ahead is encouraged to allow time for study-permit processing.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens, permanent residents and refugees) apply directly to the University of Winnipeg: for the Faculties of Arts, Business and Economics, Kinesiology and Science the suggested deadline is July 2 for Fall (September) entry, November 1 for Winter (January) entry and March 1 for Spring (May) entry; the Faculty of Education recommends March 1 for high-school and mature applicants, with a final deadline of June 1 subject to space. International applicants are advised to apply by June 15 (Fall, shown on the live page as an 'extended' deadline), October 15 (Winter) or February 15 (Spring). All of these are suggested rather than firm cut-offs: late applications may still be considered, and admission runs on an effectively rolling basis until a term is full. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
