Program Details

Physics (B.A. Double Honours) School: University of Saskatchewan Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Science Degree: Bachelor ; Honours Field of Study: Philosophy Description: Physics is the study of interactions and structures of inanimate matter from the largest observed astronomical structures to objects smaller than atomic nuclei. Physics principles are thus relevant for people engaged in research and technology development in many different areas including energy, the environment, health, or advanced materials. Physics as a fundamental science offers very rigorous methods of inquiry for those interested in pushing the boundaries of knowledge. It is therefore of interest both to students who would like to unravel the mysteries of the physical universe and to students who are interested in advancing modern technologies. Physics applies to all of these situations because it focuses on the fundamental laws of nature. We have been modernizing the Honours program in Physics to allow students to focus on subfields of physics which match their interests and strengths. We offer specializations in Astronomy, Plasma, Space & Atmospheric Physics, Material Science, Nuclear Physics and Theoretical Physics. We have also been working with our partners in Canada and abroad to enhance the learning experience of our students through research experience and exchange programs. A Double Honours program allows concentration in Physics and a second subject. Students who wish to pursue a Double Honours degree are required to consult the two departments concerned.
