Program details

Overview

This program leads to a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Physics & Astronomy, offered full-time or part-time at the Keele Campus, with entry in Fall, Winter or Summer for both first-year and upper-year students, as a four-year Honours or three-year degree. Students choose among three streams: Physics, Applied Physics, or Astronomy and Astrophysics, studying matter, energy, and the mathematical and computational methods that underpin physical science. Students have access to the Allan I. Carswell Observatory, home to the largest telescope on a Canadian university campus, for observational astronomy work. The program suits students with a strong grounding in senior mathematics and physics who want a research-oriented science degree with a choice of applied, theoretical or observational focus. Students also gain experience with computational modelling and data analysis methods used throughout the physical sciences.
