What it is	Physical & Environmental Sciences is a degree where you study the natural world through disciplines like physics, chemistry, geology, astronomy, and environmental science. You choose which areas to focus on based on your interests. The co-op option lets you alternate study with paid work terms in science-related workplaces, giving you real experience alongside your classes. This program suits students who want to understand how Earth and space work and prefer hands-on learning combined with classroom study.	You study the structure, composition, and processes of the Earth's rocky layers and landscapes, combining geology with physics and geography. Physical geology focuses on how rocks form, break down, and move, rather than on finding mineral deposits or fossils. The co-op option lets you do paid work terms with industry or research employers alongside your studies, giving you real experience in the field.	Environmental Engineering combines math, chemistry, physics, and biology to solve real-world problems like water treatment, air quality, and waste management. Unlike a pure science degree, you learn engineering design and practical problem-solving alongside the science fundamentals. The program includes mandatory co-op work terms, so you gain industry experience while studying. This suits students who want to apply science to environmental challenges and prefer hands-on learning alongside classroom work.

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.
