The Master of Science in Physics at University of Ottawa's Faculty of Science is administered in collaboration with Carleton University through the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Physics. The program provides advanced coursework and research opportunities in areas such as condensed matter, high energy physics, biological physics, medical physics, and photonics. Options include thesis, accelerated thesis, coursework-only, coursework plus co-op, or coursework plus project streams. Students have access to facilities and faculty on both campuses, with enrollment at their thesis supervisor's home institution. The language of instruction is English; research may be conducted in English or French. Graduates become creative and independent researchers prepared for further studies or professional careers in physics.
