Be at the cutting edge of discovery in one of the largest physics and astronomy graduate programs in Canada. The department’s tradition of collaboration and innovations offers an unparalleled rich and varied graduate experience. Choose from three study options to fit your needs and interests: - The thesis option is research-based. You’ll work closely with a supervisor to conduct original research in an area of physics, culminating in a thesis. You’ll be provided with funding to cover tuition and some living expenses.
- The master’s research paper option is primarily coursework-based with a minor research component. You’ll work with a supervisor to plan your degree and complete your research paper. Funding is not provided.
- The coursework-based option is a specialization in quantum technology. It is offered in partnership with the Institute for Quantum Computing and the Transformative Quantum Technologies Program. Designed to be completed in 12 months, it features coursework combined with hands-on learning on quantum platforms. This includes superconducting electronics, atomic, molecular and optical systems, and solid state devices. You’ll be prepared to join the growing quantum industry to pursue research at the PhD level. Limited full scholarships are available for this option.
