Co-Op B.Sc. Honours in Physics
Students can take the BSc Honours program in Physics with an optional Co-operative Education component. In this innovative program, the UofR collaborates with participating industrial employers to provide an education that includes hands-on experience in the real world. The program exposes students to a wide variety of areas in pure and applied physics, helping them prepare for future career options such as graduate school in physics or engineering, or working in industry. The schedule lists 4 work terms, but students are only required to complete 3.
