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 study how Earth's systems work — its atmosphere, weather, climate, oceans, geology, and space — using physics, chemistry, and math. This program lets you do paid work terms with employers alongside your courses, giving you real experience in research labs or environmental organizations. It suits people curious about how the planet functions and wanting to test their skills in the field before deciding on a career.
