What it isYou 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.This program combines foundational study in mathematics with hands-on work in chemistry, physics, astronomy, geology, and related fields. You'll take core courses in pure and applied mathematics alongside lab work and theory in the physical sciences, giving you breadth rather than specialization in a single discipline. It suits students drawn to quantitative problem-solving across multiple scientific areas who want flexibility to explore before committing to a specific path.A Science Non-Honours degree lets you study physical sciences — chemistry, geology, and related fields — without committing to a specialized honours stream. You complete a three-year program with broader course choices and fewer upper-level requirements than an honours degree, giving you flexibility to explore different areas before specializing or applying to professional programs. This suits students who want a solid science foundation, aren't sure which specialization to pursue, or plan to move into medicine, health sciences, or graduate study.

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.
