Physics is the basis of all other sciences and involves the study of space, time and energy. There is scarcely an area of modern life that is not affected by physics.
Physicists are highly trained scientists, with knowledge of mathematics, computer programming, the design of complex instruments, and the analysis and interpretation of complex sets of data. They are also versatile scientists, able to cross boundaries into other subjects like chemistry, biology, medicine, and earth and planetary sciences. Advances in physics often enable advances in new technologies. There is significant demand for physicists in Canadian industry.
The innovative Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics program combines the best of modern physics instruction with practical knowledge in related fields. This program is a co-operative effort between the University of Regina and participating industry employers.
