What you study	Astronomy Physics	Animal Science Biological Sciences Chemistry Computer Science	Astronomy Chemistry Geology Human Geography
What it is	You study the laws that govern how matter and energy behave, from subatomic particles to stars and galaxies. Physics focuses on fundamental forces and motion, while astronomy applies those principles to space objects and the universe. The co-op option lets you work in labs or observatories alongside your classroom learning, which suits students who want practical experience in research or want to explore whether a physics career fits them.	This program trains you to teach science — biology, chemistry, or computer science — at the middle and intermediate school levels in French-language schools. You earn your Bachelor of Science and teaching qualification simultaneously by combining science courses with education coursework, rather than studying science first and then adding teacher training afterward. It suits students who are fluent in French, strong in science, and committed to teaching younger students.	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.
