Description:

The Department of Physics at the University of Regina offers graduate programs leading to the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Experimental and Theoretical Subatomic Physics, with special emphasis in:


* High Energy Physics

* Weak Interactions and Neutrino Physics

* Hadronic QCD Physics



Faculty members and graduate students pursue their research locally, and at locations elsewhere in Canada, the United States, Europe and Japan. Graduate instruction is provided in an encouraging and productive environment. The department is an associate member of the TRIUMF subatomic physics laboratory in Vancouver, and has a close relationship with the Jefferson Laboratory in Newport News, Virginia, USA. We are also an institutional member of the international ATLAS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN – the world’s largest particle physics laboratory.

Prerequisites:

These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
    A B.Sc. Honours degree (or equivalent) in physics or engineering physics is required for admission to the M.Sc. program. A minimum average of 75% in all physics and mathematics courses, and an overall average of 70%, is required. In addition to the grades and recommendation letters, the overlap of the applicant's research interests with those of the department is also taken into account in the acceptance decision. Foreign applicants are expected to write the GRE physics subject exam in addition to the TOEFL.
    Additional Admission Requirements:
    • Letter(s) of Reference
    • Resume/Curriculum Vitae
    • Statement of Research Interests
    Letters of recommendation, preferably from former professors or persons acquainted with the work of the applicant, and in a position to comment critically on the capability to do graduate research or course work, must support this promise of ability.

    * We make every attempt to provide accurate information on prerequisites, programs, and tuition. However, this information is subject to change without notice and we highly recommend that you contact the school to confirm important information before applying.
