Trent University's Computer Science & Physics program is a Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree designed for students interested in the electronic, hardware, and interfacing aspects of computers, grounded in the fundamental principles of physics and mathematics. The program is delivered as an integrated sequence of courses offered jointly by the Departments of Computer Science, Mathematics & Statistics, and Physics & Astronomy, combining computing theory with the physical science and mathematical foundations that underpin computer hardware and systems. The combined focus on software, hardware, and the physics that governs computing systems suits students interested in areas bridging computer science and physics, such as embedded or physical computing, rather than software development alone. As a single-major Honours degree, the program totals 20.0 credits across the three participating departments.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: General admission requirements of Trent University apply; programme-specific prerequisites are published on the official programme page. Ontario Secondary School applicants need the OSSD with a minimum of six Grade 12 4U/4M courses (including program-specific prerequisites), ENG4U at a minimum of 60%, and a minimum 70% overall final average calculated on the top six 4U/4M courses (some specialized programs require 75-80%); non-Ontario Canadian applicants need a comparable minimum 70% average. International applicants are assessed by credential: an OSSD-equivalent secondary diploma needs a minimum 70% average across its best six courses; IB needs a minimum overall score of 26 including bonus points (IB English A at grade 4 or higher satisfies the English requirement); British-patterned education needs a minimum C in five O-level/IGCSE subjects plus two A-levels (a C in O-level English satisfies the English requirement); American-patterned education needs a minimum B average (3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale); the India Senior School Certificate needs a minimum 70% average across the best four Standard XII academic courses; China's Senior High School credential needs a minimum 75% average in Senior 3 (Trent-ESL is available if only English proficiency is short); Vietnam's Upper Secondary credential needs a minimum 7.0 average in Grade 12; the West African Senior School Certificate needs a minimum B3 average across five best courses; and the Caribbean CAPE diploma needs a minimum III average across six CAPE units. Applicants whose first language is not English and who don't qualify for a credential-based waiver must otherwise demonstrate proficiency at or above: IELTS 6.5 (no band below 6.0); TOEFL iBT 4.5 with a minimum 4.0 in writing (2026-onward scale); Duolingo English Test 115 (undergraduate only); CAEL 60; Cambridge B2 First/C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176 (no sub-score below 169); Pearson PTE Academic 59; Oxford ELLT 7 (no band below 6); or LANGUAGECERT Academic 70-74 (no score below 65). Graduate programs set their own minimums - for example, several M.Sc./M.A. programs require a B+ (77%) average in the last two years of full-time study.
