Master of Science in Physics [Thesis]

Established in 1983, the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Physics (OCIP) combines the research strengths of the University of Ottawa and Carleton University. The Institute offers graduate programs leading to the master’s (MSc) and doctoral (PhD) degrees in Physics.Research facilities are shared between the two campuses. Students have access to the professors, courses and facilities at both universities; however, they must enroll at the “home university” of the thesis supervisor. In science, you explore, you question, you discover. You open your mind. You develop a passion for pushing back the boundaries of the unknown. Come and develop this passion with us at the University of Ottawa.

To be eligible for the standard stream of the MSc, candidates must:Be the holder of a bachelor’s degree with a specialization, or a major in physics (or equivalent) with a minimum average of 70% (B).Note: International candidates must check the admission equivalencies for the diploma they received in their country of origin.Demonstrate a good academic performance as shown by official transcripts, research reports, abstracts or any other documents demonstrating research skills.Meet the funding requirements.Note: International students must provide proof of financial support: i.e., a stipend provided by a supervisor as well as a combination of awards and/or trust funds.Identify at least one professor who is willing to supervise your research and thesis.We recommend that you contact potential thesis supervisors as soon as possible.To register, you need to have been accepted by a thesis supervisor.The supervisor’s name is required at the time of application.
