Bachelor of Science - Physics for Modern Technology

The BSc in Physics for Modern Technology degree gives students foundational knowledge in topics such as Quantum Physics, Thermal Physics, Optics, Electricity and Magnetism.  Students also obtain applied skills through labs exploring areas such as Electronics, Computer Programming, Industrial Process Control, and Signal & Image Processing. Students gain hands-on research experience by designing and carrying-out extended 3rd and 4th year research projects. To help with preparation for the workplace, students also complete two business courses and a paid work term. Our BSc program will prepare you to engage with both current and emerging technologies.  Over the course of four years, you will gain a solid background in fundamental physics and develop the hands-on, applied skills necessary for success in today’s high tech industries. Physics is a major driving force behind the development of new technologies, and in turn, new technologies allow scientists to push forward the boundaries of knowledge.  Our program is designed with this in mind

Career Path

Graduates of the program have careers in, for example, the design and manufacture of scientific cameras, 3D structural engineering analysis and design software, and cyclotrons (used for the production of medical isotopes).
