| 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. | Physical Sciences is a broad first-year program where you study foundational chemistry, physics, mathematics, and biology before choosing a specialization in second year. The co-op option means you alternate between study and paid work terms at companies or research labs, giving you real experience in your field. This program suits students who are strong in math and science but not yet certain which specific physical science direction — from astronomy to polymer chemistry — they want to pursue. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
