What you study	Others in Physical Sciences Others in Subjects Related to Medicine	BuildingHuman Geography Interdisciplinary Studies International Development
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.	You study how cities and regions develop, grow, and change, combining geography, planning, politics, and social policy to understand urban and rural environments. This program emphasizes the interconnected nature of these topics rather than treating them as separate disciplines. Co-op work terms are available, letting you gain practical experience in planning offices, government agencies, or development organizations alongside your coursework.
