Physics (MSc, PhD)

The University of Regina offers a Master of Science and a Doctor of Philosophy in Physics through the Faculty of Science, with the master's degree typically completed in two years and the doctorate in three to five years. The program focuses on subatomic physics, spanning experimental and theoretical research, with students taking part in work at international facilities including CERN, TRIUMF, and U.S. national laboratories. Coursework and research build analytical problem-solving skills, hands-on equipment development, and experience in international scientific collaboration. Applicants require a four-year Bachelor of Science honours degree in physics or engineering physics, with a minimum average of 75 per cent in physics and mathematics courses and an overall average of 70 per cent or more. Students who have not completed relevant undergraduate prerequisites may still be admitted, on the understanding that these are completed before taking the corresponding Physics courses.
