| What it is | Physics is the study of how matter, energy, and forces work at every scale, from atoms to galaxies. At Ontario Tech, you can do the standard Bachelor of Science in Physics, or combine it with a Business and Management degree if you want to develop skills in both areas. The program includes co-op work terms, letting you apply physics in real jobs alongside your studies. It suits people who want a strong grounding in physics theory and problem-solving, whether or not they're considering business or management later on. | A Bachelor of Science Honours is a four-year degree where you specialize in one science discipline — such as biology, chemistry, environmental studies, or nutrition — and take supporting courses in math and other sciences. The honours designation means you complete a research project or thesis in your final year. Many students choose the optional co-op stream, which alternates study terms with paid work placements in related fields, giving you practical experience alongside classroom learning. This program suits students who want depth in a single science and are interested in research, lab work, or professional roles in health, environment, or industry. | You study the science of living things — from individual cells and genes to entire ecosystems and animal behaviour. The Environmental Science degree focuses on how organisms interact with their environment, while other options let you specialize in animal biology, plants, genetics, or microbiology. This program suits people curious about how life works and interested in careers ranging from conservation and wildlife management to research, teaching, or health sciences. |
