DescriptionPhysics is the study of the fundamental properties of energy and matter. When you study physics at Dalhousie, you’ll gain insight into our complex and ever-changing world. You’ll discover phenomena you can use to develop the technologies and tools of tomorrow and that there are similarities between things that look very different on the surface.

Physics and Atmospheric Science courses will inform and challenge you. In lectures, you’ll be introduced to key topics, while labs provide you with opportunities to ask questions and explore related subjects. In Atmospheric Science courses, you’ll learn more about the environmental issues affecting our climate.

In your first year of study, you'll take foundation-building science courses in physics, math and chemistry. In upper years, you’ll take more specialized courses in topics such as modern physics, electricity and magnetism, energy and the environment and more. You’ll also be encouraged to think analytically and use your imagination, while also learning the skills you need to solve real-world problems.
