Notes

1 The complete list of courses is recommended for students intending to pursue graduate studies in physics.
2 PHY3341 is a corequisite for PHY3370.

For students registered in the Faculty of Science: If the components of your program of study require common compulsory courses, you will have to replace the credits as follows:
1) 1000-level courses must be replaced with electives;
2) 2000-level courses and above must be replaced with courses from either discipline at the same level or above.

Please note that all programs in the Faculty of Science require a minimum of 12 credits from the Faculties of Arts, Education, Law, Social Science or the School of Management. Once you have decided on the replacement courses, please inform the Office of Undergraduate Programs of the Faculty of Science by email at infosci@uOttawa.ca so we may amend your Rabaska audit accordingly.

Co-operative education is available when taken as part of an honours degree.
The extended French stream is available when taken as part of an honours degree.
