| 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. | You study how Earth's physical systems work — landforms, climate, water, soil — and learn geomatics, the technology and methods used to map and analyse geographic data. This differs from human geography programs by focusing on natural processes rather than societies and cultures. It suits you if you want to understand environmental change and work with mapping software and spatial analysis tools, whether in research, conservation, or resource management. | Physical Geography and Geomatics is the study of Earth's natural systems — climate, landforms, water cycles, and ecosystems — combined with the tools and technology used to map and analyze landscapes and geographic data. You'll learn fieldwork skills alongside GIS software and remote sensing, which sets this apart from pure geology or human geography alone. It suits students who want to understand how the physical world works and are comfortable with both outdoor research and technical problem-solving. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
