What it is	You study the laws and behaviour of matter and energy — how objects move, how forces work, light, electricity, magnetism, and atoms. Physics is more mathematics-heavy and theory-focused than general science; you'll work through abstract concepts and proofs rather than sampling multiple disciplines. It suits students who enjoy problem-solving, have strong math skills, and want to understand how the physical world fundamentally works.	A Liberal Science degree lets you study physics, chemistry, biology, and earth sciences without committing to a single specialization. Unlike a focused science program, this approach gives you flexibility to explore multiple science fields before choosing a direction or combining them in your final year. It suits students who are strong in science but unsure which branch appeals most, or who want a broad understanding of how different sciences connect.

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.
