Honours Life Physics is available in both systems of study: regular and co-operative.
There are two specializations available for Honours Life Physics: the Biophysics Specialization and the Medical Physics Specialization. Students should consult the Life Physics website for additional plan information.
Continuing in Honours Life Physics (regular and co-op) requires a minimum cumulative overall average of 60%, a minimum cumulative Physics average of 60%, and a minimum cumulative Biology average of 60%.
Successful completion requires:
- 21.75 units distributed as follows:
- 0.75 PHYS unit chosen from: PHYS 111 and PHYS 111L, or PHYS 121 and PHYS 121L
- 0.75 PHYS unit chosen from: PHYS 112 and PHYS 112L, or PHYS 122 and PHYS 122L
- 4.25 PHYS units: PHYS 224, PHYS 225, PHYS 256, PHYS 256L, PHYS 280/BIOL 280, PHYS 380, PHYS 395, PHYS 396, PHYS 491
- 1.0 MATH unit: MATH 127, MATH 128
- 3.0 CHEM units: CHEM 120, CHEM 120L, CHEM 123, CHEM 123L, CHEM 237, CHEM 237L, CHEM 266, CHEM 266L
- 1.75 BIOL units: BIOL 130, BIOL 130L, BIOL 239, BIOL 273
- 0.5 ENGL unit: ENGL 193/SPCOM 193
- 9.75 elective units distributed as follows:
- 2.25 program elective units chosen from: BIOL 201, BIOL 240 and BIOL 240L, BIOL 308, BIOL 373 and BIOL 373L, PHYS 124, PHYS 233, PHYS 234, PHYS 263, PHYS 358, PHYS 359, PHYS 383
- 7.5 units chosen from any subject
- Enrolment in PHYS 10 when offered.
- Co-operative program requirements (when applicable).
Notes
- PHYS 242 and PHYS 242L may be substituted for PHYS 224.
- A 100- or 200-level BIOL course may be substituted for BIOL 273.
- Students interested in pursuing the Biophysics Specialization must take PHYS 121 and PHYS 122 rather than PHYS 111 and PHYS 112.
