At Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, Canada, Physics: Bachelor of Science Degree (BSc) is offered as a bachelor's degree in Physics & Astronomy programme. The programme runs for 4 years, delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition for international students is CAD 8,861 per semester (CAD 1,904 per semester for local students).
The physics degree pairs demanding coursework in the concepts underlying the physical world with hands-on exposure to electronics, computing, data acquisition, optics and related fundamentals. A strong foundation supports further growth of expertise in applied science and technology fields. It is offered with a physics major across two study streams, with or without a co-operative work-experience option, and this academic specialization prepares graduates for further graduate study in physics and astronomy, whereas the co-op stream adds a wide range of practical, hands-on experience in applied scientific fields.

Application Details
Start Date:September, January, and May
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to TRU: for the September (Fall) intake the deadline is 1 May, for January (Winter) it is 1 September, and for the May (Summer) intake it is 1 January; applications for most programs open 1 October, and a deadline falling on a weekend or statutory holiday moves to the next working day. International applicants follow the same intake structure with deadlines of 1 May (September), 1 October (January) and 1 February (May); TRU still reviews later applications where space remains, though high-volume programs can close early, so admission runs on a rolling basis around these published cut-offs for the 2027 entry cycle. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
