Why Study Physics?

Physics is the foundation of modern science. It encompasses the study of the universe from the largest galaxies to the structure of matter: the atom, the nucleus, and quarks.

Its concepts, from relativity to quantum mechanics, challenge the imagination.

Why Study Physics?

At University, every science program (chemistry, biology, biochemistry, etc.) and engineering makes you take physics!

Experience has shown you will have a much better experience in first year University physics if you’ve have Grade 12 physics.

People Who Study Physics… Have a passion for understanding how things

work

Enjoy scientific experiments, mathematics, and computation

Excel at solving complex problems, which allows them to seek employment in a surprisingly wide range of academic, government, and industrial settings, well beyond the traditional boundaries of physics

Physics: A study of how things work.

A physicist studies the forces of nature, their effects on matter, and learns to control them in order to make useful things.
