This program is designed for students who dream of distant galaxies, wonder about the origin of the universe, and wish to explore their curiosities with a Physics and Astronomy degree from the University of Waterloo.
Students can complement their foundational studies in physics and math with courses in astronomy. The University of Waterloo's new Centre for Astrophysics hosts aspiring young researchers and students, helping them to unlock the mysteries of the universe. Researchers will collaborate with some of the top astrophysics agencies in the world.
The program’s strong ties to the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing provide additional opportunities to get involved in research. Meanwhile, students who opt for co-op program, they will gain valuable resume-building experience on their work terms.
Students will join a program that fosters curious minds to question the smallest particles, the largest forces, and everything in between. Where students will get the support they need to succeed (and maybe win a Nobel Prize like the University of Waterloo professor Donna Strickland or be part of a team to take the first image of a black hole, like professor Avery Broderick).
Once students complete their degree, they will have what it takes to pursue specialized graduate programs or to launch directly into a career in fields like aerospace, astrophysics, or remote sensing.
