• All courses labelled Physics except Physics 271, 303 or 371
• Astrophysics 609

See also Section 3 (Faculty Regulations), Subsections 3.4A (Program Requirements - Major Programs) and 3.5B (Course Selection - Introductory Courses).

6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) - Physics 227 and 255

3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) - Mathematics 211 or 213

3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) - Mathematics 275 or 249 or 265¹

3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) - Mathematics 277, or Mathematics 267¹ and 177

6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) - Chemistry 201 or 211 and one of Chemistry 203 or 213 or Biology 241 or Astrophysics 213

3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) - Computer Science 217

39 units (6.5 full-course equivalents) - Physics 325, 341, 343, 375, 381, 397, 443, 449, 455, 457, 497, 501, and 599 or 598

3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) - 400- or 500-level Physics option

3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) - Mathematics 311 or 313

9 units (1.5 full-course equivalents) - Mathematics 375 OR Applied Mathematics 311; and Mathematics 377 OR Mathematics 367; and Applied Mathematics 433

18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents) - Breadth requirement: Options from Faculties other than the Faculty of Science (check Table I in 3.4 Program Requirements for ineligible courses). Of these 18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents), at least 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) must be from the Faculty of Arts. Science 311 may be counted among the 18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents) from other Faculties.

¹The recommended sequence for Mathematics courses in Physics and Astronomy is Mathematics 275 and 277. Students who complete Mathematics 267 will have to take a Block Week class for it to be equivalent to Mathematics 277.

Notes:

• Students can a) have obtained an "A-" or better in Physics 211/221 or b) have completed both Physics 211/221 and Physics 321 in order to satisfy their program requirement of Physics 227. Students who have completed either of these options must visit the Undergraduate Science Centre (EEEL 445) to have this substitution applied to their student record.
• It is strongly recommended that students take 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) English to complete the 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) Faculty of Arts requirement.
• The Mathematics 275, 277, 375, 377 recommended sequence can be replaced with a sequence of Mathematics 249 or 265, Mathematics 267, Mathematics 177, Applied Mathematics 311, and Mathematics 367.
• Students using only a single chemistry course to fulfill their program requirements may use Chemistry 203 or Chemistry 209 in place of the suggested Chemistry 201 or 211.

Same as in Major Program except that Physics 599, 3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) Physics option, 3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) Science option and 1.5 full-course equivalents) options are replaced by:

6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) - Physics 598

12 units (2.0 full-course equivalents) - Physics 451, 481, 543 and 597

It is strongly recommended that Mathematics 275 be taken in preference to Mathematics 249 or 265.

(a) Major Program

(b) Honours Program

• Physics 211 or 221 or 227; and Physics 223 or 255
• 24 units (4.0 full-course equivalents) at the 300 level or higher in the field of Physics
• Mathematics prerequisites as needed
