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.	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.	You study chemistry, physics, astronomy, or geology at an advanced level, choosing your focus after first year. This program includes a co-op option that lets you work for employers in research, industry, or government between school terms. It suits students who are curious about how matter, energy, and natural systems work and want both hands-on lab experience and real-world work placements.
