What it is	Physics is the study of how matter, energy, and forces work at every scale, from tiny particles to the whole universe. This program includes mathematics and some biology courses alongside core physics content. You'll have the option to do a paid work term as part of your degree, giving you real laboratory or industry experience alongside your studies.	You study how the brain and nervous system work, combining biology, chemistry, and human anatomy to understand brain structure, function, and disorders. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, giving you real-world experience alongside your degree. This program suits people who want hands-on science training and a pathway into neuroscience research, clinical work, or healthcare fields.
