What it is	You study the science of matter, energy, forces, and motion — how things work at every scale, from tiny atoms to galaxies. Physics at Trent gives you a grounding in theory through lectures and labs, preparing you for further study or work in fields like engineering, environmental science, or research. It suits people who are curious about how the natural world operates and comfortable with mathematics.	You earn two degrees at once: one in science (you pick a major like biology, computer science, or data science) and one in commerce (business and economics). This combined program lets you graduate with credentials in both fields rather than choosing one or the other. It suits students who want scientific or technical expertise plus business knowledge for careers that need both, like environmental consulting, tech entrepreneurship, or data analysis in industry.
