What it isYou study how Earth's materials, structures, and processes work by combining geology with physics — essentially learning the physics that explains what geologists observe in rocks, earthquakes, and planetary systems. This program differs from studying geology or physics alone because you'll apply physical principles directly to Earth science problems rather than studying them separately. It suits you if you're curious about how the planet works at a fundamental level and want flexibility to pursue either Earth science or physics-based careers.This is a four-year science degree where you specialize in one of many fields — from chemistry and physics to biology, geology, audiology, linguistics, or environmental science. The honours designation means you go deeper into your chosen subject than a general science degree would. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain paid professional experience alongside your studies, which suits students who want both classroom learning and real workplace practice in their field.
