Bachelor of Science in Physics in Canada at UFV Canada

Program Overview for Bachelor of Science in Physics in Canada:

The Bachelor of Science in Physics allows you to theoretically and experimentally explore the nature of matter, energy, and their interactions. In this course, you can learn basic topics as early as possible, such as electromagnetism, wave physics, thermodynamics, and relativity.

Then advanced courses allow you to discuss advanced topics such as quantum theory and fluid mechanics and apply mathematical principles to the material world around you. Physics course also includes engineering and mechatronics options, if applied science piques your interest. 

This program:

• Combines classroom theory with a variety of possible laboratory experiments and hands-on projects. 
• Encourages the exploration of new and current ideas and challenges you to learn and explore the universe in new and complex ways.

Career expectations:

The Hamilton Project found that occupations that emphasize quantitative skills tend to have the highest lifetime earnings for graduates. Physics graduates are expected to earn as much as computer science, engineering, economics, and finance professionals. 

As a physics graduate, you can find a job in technical fields such as government or industrial laboratories, radiation monitoring or power plants, or scientific equipment operators. Or, you can combine a degree in physics with UFV's rich teacher education program to start a teaching career.

A degree in physics from UFV can also allow you to enter the postgraduate study in any subject. Many physics graduates continue their studies and careers as economists, financial consultants, industrial researchers, systems analysts, computer programmers, engineers, biophysicists, or astronomers.

These are the international student eligibility for the Bachelor of Science in Physics in Canada

High School Applicants, please provide a copy of:

• Your high school transcript(s) and proof of graduation if you have graduated from high school, or a copy of your interim high school transcript(s) if you are currently in high school.
• If you are currently studying in a high school outside of Canada, you will be required to provide your final high school transcript and proof of graduation in August, or at the latest, before fall classes begin.
• If you are currently studying in a BC high school or BC high school offshore, please provide your Personal Education Number (PEN) in your application. UFV can download your interim and final transcripts if you have provided permission to release your grades to UFV for one year at the Ministry of Education website.  The deadline to receive your final high transcript and proof of graduation is August 3.

Post-Secondary Applicants, please provide a copy of:

• Your high school transcript(s).
• Your post-secondary transcript(s) from all institutions attended. Please note that evaluation of previous post-secondary credit is a requirement for admission to some programs. If your official post-secondary transcript(s) is required, a document evaluation fee will be charged to your student account.
