This joint honours program combines in-depth study of mathematics with physics and astronomy in a four-year, 120-credit-hour Bachelor of Science (Honours) offered by the Faculty of Science at the University of Manitoba. Students complete a structured plan of study covering core mathematics courses, including linear algebra and calculus, alongside physics and astronomy coursework, with the option to add a co-operative education stream that places students in paid, supervised work terms under the same academic entry and continuation standards as the regular program. To remain in the Honours program, students must maintain a Degree Grade Point Average of at least 3.00 and complete a minimum of nine credit hours in each Fall and Winter term. Graduation requires the same 3.00 DGPA together with a grade of C+ or better in every Honours Program Specific physics and astronomy course, and a C or better in all remaining courses that make up the 120-credit-hour degree. The joint honours structure suits students preparing for graduate study or research careers spanning both mathematics and physics and astronomy.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:80.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Faculty of Science from high school requires Manitoba high school graduation with five full Grade 12 credits (S, G, or U) and a minimum 80% average over English 40S, Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S (recommended) or Applied Mathematics 40S, one of Biology/Chemistry/Computer Science/Physics 40S, and one additional academic 40S course, with no less than 60% in each course; direct-entry students begin in the 4-Year undeclared Major program. To enter the Joint Honours Mathematics - Physics and Astronomy program itself, a student needs a minimum grade of B in MATH 1232 (or A in MATH 1700), a minimum grade of B in PHYS 1050 (or B+ in PHYS 1020), and a minimum grade of B in PHYS 1070 (or B+ in PHYS 1030). Continuing in the Honours program requires a minimum Degree Grade Point Average of 3.00 and at least nine credit hours completed each Fall and Winter term.
