Program Details

What happened to anti-matter after the big bang? What is the origin of mass in the universe? What are the fusion nuclear reactions in the core of the sun? What gives a particular material super-conducting properties? Physics is the study of the most basic building blocks of matter, from the smallest particles to the largest structures of the universe, from the beginning to the end. Engage in subatomic and medical physics.

An Applied Physics (Honours) and a professionally accredited Engineering Physics (BEng) program are also available.

Streams

Our Physics (Honours) has three streams: Astrophysics, Experimental, and Theory; or can be combined with Biology, Chemistry or Mathematics.

Capital Advantage

Our department’s location in the nation’s capital places you within the highest concentration of scientific and technical expertise in the country, providing unparalleled access to both personnel and technical facilities.

Work Experience

A Co-op option is available. Through Co-op, students have an opportunity to apply academic studies to a real work environment as well as to explore various career possibilities. Placements are available at local high-tech companies, government laboratories or health care institutions in the Ottawa region and beyond.

Exceptional Faculty

Our faculty is actively engaged in intensive research in particle physics and medical physics. You’ll benefit from their expertise, passion and experiences and have opportunities to work alongside them in your capstone research project.

Did you know?

The ATLAS detector at CERN takes data with the highest-energy accelerator in the world, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The unique expertise and facilities at Carleton have helped construct the complex detectors for ATLAS that are used to decipher the particle collisions at the LHC.
