Program details

Overview

This Bachelor of Science major teaches the core principles of physics with a strong focus on developing a deep mathematical understanding of the field, using mathematical models and theories to build methods for solving physical problems, and is co-taught by faculty from both mathematics and physics. It is offered through the Faculty of Science and is also available as a BSc Honors degree, delivered on campus at the University of Alberta's Edmonton location. The degree is customizable, letting students add an optional minor from more than 60 subjects or pursue a double major, choosing to keep the program broad or focus deeply on the discipline. Alberta high-school applicants need English Language Arts 30-1, Mathematics 30-1, two courses from Physics 30, Biology 30, Mathematics 31, Chemistry 30, or Computing Science, and one elective from Fine Arts, Humanities, Languages, or Math/Sciences. It suits students seeking a rigorous, mathematically grounded approach to physics.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Alberta high-school applicants to Mathematical Physics (BSc, Faculty of Science) need English Language Arts 30-1, Mathematics 30-1, two of Physics 30, Biology 30, Mathematics 31, Chemistry 30, or Computing Science ADV, plus one course from Fine Arts, Humanities, Languages, or Math/Sciences. This is the Faculty of Science's general BSc requirement shown on the program page; no minimum or competitive admission average, entry-route detail, or standardized tests are stated. All applicants must meet English language proficiency standards, and transfer applicants are directed to the University Calendar.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply directly to the University of Alberta, not through a provincial service: for Fall 2027 entry the application window opens 1 October 2026 and the deadline for most programmes is 1 March 2027, though several limited-enrolment programmes close earlier (Juris Doctor, 1 December 2026; Dental Hygiene, 1 November 2026) or later (Bachelor of Design and BFA programmes, 1 May 2027); Spring and Summer 2027 admission also opens 1 October 2026, while Winter intake is limited to a few programmes. International applicants use the identical published dates and online application; the university states no separate international closing date. The 1 March deadline is firm and late applications are not accepted, but admission decisions are then issued on a rolling basis, and offers made before 1 April must be accepted by 1 May 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
