The Major in Physics is an undergraduate concentration within a Bachelor's degree at the University of Ottawa. The program covers the fundamental laws of nature and develops skills for analyzing complex problems, preparing students for careers spanning academia, high technology, finance, administration, medicine, management and education. Students complete 54 units of coursework in the discipline: compulsory 1000-level courses in calculus, linear algebra and the fundamentals of physics; compulsory 2000-level courses covering circuits, waves and optics, electricity and magnetism, mechanics and modern physics; and compulsory 3000-level courses in thermodynamics and a physics laboratory. Optional coursework includes further calculus or differential equations options together with advanced physics electives. At least 12 elective units must be taken from the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Education, the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Social Sciences or the Telfer School of Management. The program is offered in both English and French, with French immersion and co-operative education streams available to students who complete it as part of an honours degree.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants need English 4U (ENG4U) or Français 4U (FRA4U), Advanced Functions 4U (MHF4U), Calculus and Vectors 4U (MCV4U), and two of Biology 4U (SBI4U), Chemistry 4U (SCH4U), Physics 4U (SPH4U), or Earth and Space Science 4U (SES4U). The published minimum admission average is 78%, with a minimum combined average of 70% required across the science and mathematics prerequisite courses specifically. Students who do not have Calculus and Vectors 4U may take a replacement course at the University in the summer before or during first term. This line is shared across Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Physics, and Physics-Mathematics, and, per the Faculty of Science's own grouping of shared first-year course requirements, also covers the general (undeclared) Bachelor of Science credential and the Life Sciences major, since neither is tracked as a separate admission discipline.
