This four-year bachelor of science program explores everything from the smallest nucleus to the farthest galaxies. Students learn the fundamentals giving them a strong foundation to build on. Students can choose their direction of study by selecting courses in subatomic and particle physics, astronomy and cosmology.
People who study physics want to learn how the universe works. Their curiosity takes them from the realm of the very tiny – the structure of an atom's nucleus to the very big – the structure of the universe – and everywhere in between! Students can learn about astrophysics and cosmology through one of Atlantic Canada’s largest astronomical telescopes right here at the Grenfell Observatory. Or students can explore the fundamentals of electricity and magnetism, quantum mechanics, geophysics, and particle physics. Students can shape their program so they concentrate on what most intrigues them.
Example courses include:
Grenfell students get the rare opportunity to conduct research in Grenfell's state-of-the-art facilities. Inside the observatory’s six-metre dome, the precision-made reflecting telescope has almost 10,000 times the light-gathering ability of the human eye. The faint light from distant objects such as galaxies can be collected, then focused through an eyepiece for students' direct viewing or analysis. The telescope is used primarily for research and as a teaching resource.
Additional research opportunities awaits each student in Grenfells new Senior Physics lab when they become a third- or fourth-year student studying such topics as electricity, magnetism, and modern physics. Faculty are engaged in top-line research and partner with facilities around the world.
