What it is	Medical physics applies physics principles to diagnose and treat disease in hospitals and clinics — you study how radiation, imaging, and other tools work in medicine alongside core physics. Unlike a straight physics degree, this program integrates medical applications from the start and includes a co-op work term, so you gain hands-on experience in hospital physics departments while studying. It suits people drawn to both physics and healthcare who want to solve practical problems in a clinical setting.	You study how biological systems work at the molecular and cellular level, with a focus on health and disease. This program emphasizes the chemistry and physics underlying living processes more than a general biology program does. It suits students interested in understanding the scientific foundations of medicine and disease without committing to medical school itself.	You study the physics of stars, galaxies, and the universe — how they form, behave, and interact. The BSc&Mgt option adds business and management courses alongside your science, useful if you want to lead research teams or work in science-related industries. This program suits students who are strong in math and physics and curious about large-scale cosmic questions, especially those considering co-op work terms to test careers in research, planetariums, or tech companies.
