Major in Physics for Modern Technology is a new type of physics degree in Canada. Physics is a major driving force behind the development of new technology, and in turn, new technologies allow scientists to push forward the boundaries of knowledge. The relationship is symbiotic, so this program is aimed at those who have an interest both in fundamental science and in the practical application of that science in an industrial and/or laboratory setting. As well as studying physics, students will gain technical skills that are highly relevant to work in local industry. Mathematics: In the BSc in Applications of Mathematics program, traditional mathematics coursework is combined with courses that allow students to apply their mathematical skills in diverse fields, providing a broad range of options for careers or further education. The mathematical and computational skills developed by students who complete a credential in Applications of Mathematics will enhance their employability in careers that require strong numeracy skills, as well as their suitability for admission to graduate or professional schools.
