3 units – Physics 435 or Mathematics 433

3 units - Science options

18 units - Breadth Requirement: Options from faculties other than the Faculty of Science (check Table I in 3.4 Program Requirements for ineligible courses). Of these 18 units, at least 6 units must be from the Faculty of Arts. Science 311 may be counted among the 18 units from other faculties.

15 units - Options

1The recommended sequence for Mathematics courses in Physics and Astronomy is Mathematics 265, 267, 376, and 367.

Note: Students can a) have obtained an "A-" or better in Physics 211/221 or b) have completed both Physics 211/221 and 321 in order to satisfy their program requirement of Physics 227. Students who have completed either of these options must visit the Undergraduate Science Centre (SB 149) to have this substitution applied to their student record.
