The Departments of Physics at the Universities of Guelph and Waterloo offer a joint program leading to
MSc and PhD degrees. The Guelph-Waterloo Physics Institute consists
of members from both university departments and is administered by a joint co-ordinating committee.
Students interested in graduate work in physics at either university should send applications for admission
to the director of the Institute. Students are ultimately registered at the university at which their advisor is
located. A student comes under the general regulations of the university at which he or she is registered,
and the degree is granted by that university.
MSc Programs
The MSc programs provide for emphasis on astrophysics and gravitation, atomic, molecular and optical physics, biophysics, chemical physics, condensed matter and material physics, industrial and applied physics, and subatomic physics.
.
Three options are available for the MSc degree:
- A research-based option in which the student is required to complete four one-semester courses (at least
2.0 course credits) and a thesis.
- A coursework option in which the student is required to complete eight
one-semester courses (at least 4.0 course credits), one of which must be a research project course that
includes a report.
- A co-operative option in which the student spends two semesters working in a
government or industrial laboratory. The student is required to complete four one-semester courses (at
least 2.0 course credits) and a thesis.
Admission Requirements
Application for admission should be made as early as possible on forms obtained from the director of
the Guelph-Waterloo Physics Institute. Successful applicants are encouraged to
start their graduate studies in May or September, but a January starting date is possible. Academic
transcripts and other supporting documents should be forwarded as soon as they become available.
Admission to the program cannot be granted until all requirements have been met and all documents
submitted.
Applications are considered by the Admissions Committee. Only students who are graduates of approved
universities and colleges are eligible for admission. An honours degree in physics, or the equivalent, with
first or upper second-class standing, is normally required for entry into an MSc program. It should be
noted that students will normally be admitted only if an advisor can be found to oversee their research.
Since there are a limited number of openings each year, applicants are advised to state alternative areas of
research on the preference form supplied.
MSc Co-operative Option
Admission to the co-op option is restricted to Canadian citizens and
permanent residents. Applicants for admission to the MSc program must have a first-class or high upper
second-class honours degree in physics from a recognized university.
Degree Requirements
Research-Based MSc Option Four one-term courses (at least 2.0 course credits) acceptable for
graduate credit and a thesis based on original research are required. The subject of research must be
approved by the candidate's supervisory committee and the thesis must be read and approved by the supervisory committee. One of the four courses may be an undergraduate course approved by the student's
supervisory committee and the graduate co-ordinator. If it is a physics course, it must be at the fourth-year level.
For all students (except those in biophysics**) the four courses must include at least one of Quantum
Mechanics 1 (PHYS*7010), Statistical Physics 1 (PHYS*7040) and Electromagnetic Theory
(PHYS*7060).
An MSc student in this program who shows a particular aptitude for research and has a superior record in
fourth-year undergraduate and three one-term graduate courses may be permitted, upon recommendation
of the advisor and with the approval of the co-ordinating committee, to transfer into the PhD program
without completing an MSc thesis.
MSc Co-operative Option
Students enter the co-op MSc program in September. The first term of the program is spent taking two courses (for all except those in biophysics **, one of these courses must be chosen from PHYS*7010, PHYS* 7040 and PHYS*7060) and performing the duties of a regular teaching assistant. During this term, the student will
discuss work-term prospects with the Guelph and Waterloo personnel responsible for co-op activities and
conduct interviews with potential employers. Satisfactory performance in this phase of the program
allows the student to spend the next two terms working in an industrial or government laboratory. Upon
completion of the work terms, the student must submit a work report as discussed below.
The student must complete a minimum of two additional graduate courses and complete a research
project under the supervision of a faculty member in accordance with the regular thesis requirements of
the MSc degree program, as outlined by the Faculty of Graduate Studies.
**Exception: In place of the core physics course biophysics students may choose any course approved by the student's supervisory committee and the graduate co-ordinator.
Part-time Course-Based MSc Option Eight one-term courses acceptable for graduate credit,
including a project course summarized in a report, are required. The project must be approved by the
candidate's advisor and the report read and approved by the advisor and one other faculty member. These
courses must include Quantum Mechanics 1 (PHYS*7010), Statistical Physics 1 (PHYS*7040), and
Electromagnetic Theory (PHYS*7060). Two of the courses may be approved undergraduate courses; the
approval must be by the advisory committee and the graduate co-ordinator. If they are physics
courses they must be at the fourth-year level. This program is recommended for those planning careers
requiring a broad non-specialized knowledge of physics (for example, high school teaching).
PhD Programs
Two options are available for the PhD degree:
- A research-based option in which the student is required to complete four one-semester courses
(2.0 credits) and a thesis.
- A co-operative option in which the student spends two semesters working in a government or
industrial laboratory. The student is required to complete four one-semester courses (2.0 credits)
and a thesis.
Admission Requirements
An MSc degree from an approved university or college is normally required for entrance into the PhD
program.
PhD Co-operative Option Applicants must have or expect to obtain an MSc degree in physics from a
recognized university. Admission to the co-op option is restricted to Canadian citizens or permanent
residents.
Degree Requirements
Four one-term courses not including any already taken for MSc credit are required; courses taken during
the MSc program and in excess of those required will, however, be allowed for PhD credit. By the end of
the first year of the program, all three of Quantum Mechanics 1 (PHYS*7010), Statistical Physics 1
(PHYS*7040) and Electromagnetic Theory (PHYS*7060) should be completed. (Exception: Biophysics
students must have taken at least one of Quantum Mechanics 1 (PHYS*7010), Statistical Physics 1 (PHYS*7040), and Electromagnetic
Theory (PHYS*7060) by the completion of the first year of the PhD program.) One of the required
courses may be an undergraduate course outside the student's main field of study and must be approved by the student's supervisory committee and the graduate co-ordinator. No undergraduate
course in physics may be taken for credit.
After two or three terms in the program, PhD candidates are required to pass a qualifying examination.
This is an oral examination of approximately two hours' duration before a committee that includes
representation from the student's advisory committee. It is designed to test the student's knowledge of the
fundamentals and applications of physics related to the thesis topic. PhD students must meet their
advisory committee members at least once a year to present a written and oral report on their progress.
Candidates must present a thesis embodying the results of original research conducted by them on an
advanced topic. The thesis is defended before a committee which may also examine the student's
knowledge of related material.
PhD Co-operative Option Students normally enter the co-op PhD program in September, following
completion of their MSc degree. The student first spends one or two academic terms on campus, taking a
minimum of two courses per term and performing the regular duties of a teaching assistant. During this
time, the student will discuss work term prospects with the Guelph and Waterloo personnel responsible
for co-op activities and conduct interviews with potential employers. After satisfactory performance in
the academic term(s), the student spends a full year in an industrial or government laboratory.
Students must complete all three of the core courses PHYS*7010, PHYS*7040 and PHYS*7060 by the
end of their first two academic terms in the program. (Exception: Biophysics students must at least one of the three core
courses.) A total of four graduate courses (2.0 credits) are required (excluding those already taken for
MSc credit).
The student is required to pass a qualifying examination and complete, under the supervision of a faculty
member, a research project on an advanced topic. A thesis embodying the results of original research
conducted by the student must be presented and defended before a committee.
