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

3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) - Chemistry 201 or 211 or 209

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

18 units (3.0 full-course equivalents) - Astrophysics 307, 401, 403, 409, 503, 509

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

3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) - Science options

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.

15 units (2.5 full-course equivalents) - Options

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 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.
• Suggested Physics or Science options are Physics 457, 501, 509, 543, Computer Science 491.
• 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.
• Astrophysics 401/503 and 409/509 are taught in alternate years. It is important that students take these required courses when they are offered to avoid a delay in their graduation.

Same as in Major program, except that 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) options, 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) 400- or 500-level Physics options, and 3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) Science option are replaced by:

15 units (2.5 full-course equivalents) Physics 451, 457, 501, 543 and 599.

(a) Major Program

(b) Honours Program

12 units (2.0 full-course equivalents) - Courses labelled Astrophysics (in addition to Astrophysics 213)

15 units (2.5 full-course equivalents) - Physics 227¹, 255¹, 325, 341¹, 381

Note: The preceding courses require prerequisites in Mathematics and Computer Science; see the course descriptions for more details.

¹The sequence Physics 211 or 221, 223, 321 and 323 may be substituted for the sequence Physics 227, 255 and 341.
