Graduate Certificate in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

The Department of Physics and Engineering Physics offers graduate programs leading to MSc and PhD degrees in Physics or in Engineering Physics. Our department has a strong commitment to its research programs and facilities. Graduate students work closely with their supervisors, participate in all aspects of research, and are recognized for their important contributions to our research programs. This results in an environment where students can obtain excellent training in their discipline. Combined enrolment in our MSc and PhD programs ranges between 60 and 70 students.The research activities of our faculty members and research scientists include strong international collaborations. The research specialties of our department include experimental, observational or theoretical aspects of the following fields:Atmospheric physicsAdvanced MaterialsDevices ResearchSynchrotron Radiation ResearchSubatomic PhysicsPlasma PhysicsSolar-Terrestrial PhysicsNuclear Materials and TransmutationsMajor physics research facilities at the University of Saskatchewan include:Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPL)Institute of Space and Atmospheric Studies (ISAS)Subatomic Physics Institute (SPIN)Canadian Light Source (CLS) Synchrotron Facility, Canada's only synchrotron
