Advanced Courses
Includes all the 200 to 400 level papers offered in Physics, Electronics and Energy Studies.
In second year, you choose papers from a wide range of fields, including Environmental Physics (physics of climate change), Properties of Matter, Optics, and Electronics. You'll be offered topics such as the physical processes of the sun, the quantum nature of matter, thermal properties of fluids and solids, and an introduction to lasers.
Your third year will continue your specialization, offering papers in such areas as Relativity and Cosmology, Lasers and Optoelectronics, Electromagnetic Waves, Atomic Physics and advanced Electronics. Â You'll have the opportunity to undertake in-depth study in the origin and evolution of the universe, the fundamental structure of matter, interaction of light with atoms, the physics behind AM and FM radio, and lots more.
All courses involve a mixture of lectures and practical laboratories, so you have plenty of opportunities to gain hands-on experience in problem solving. Â There is also scope for you to choose papers outside Physics, so you can develop extra skills in a complementary area, such as Computer Science or Mathematics. This page contains a list of all the 200 to 400 level papers offered in Physics, Electronics and Energy Studies. Select a paper from the list for further information.
Also available are:
- The major requirements for a BSc in Physics,
- The major requirements for a BSc in Electronics
- The major requirements for a BSc in Energy Studies.
- The requirements for 4th year honours and projects in Physics and Energy Studies
Note: Not all 400-level papers may be available every year. Consult the Department of Physics for details.
