Physics is one of the fundamental sciences, seeking to explain the world around us. Physics takes you from the tiniest components of matter to the very structure of the universe itself. Physicists design experiments and instrumentation to assist doctors to diagnose ailments, to assist meteorologists in predicting the weather, and assisting engineers in creating the new technology that we will take for granted in the future.
Physics plays a role in our lives, everyday.
These and other questions are the questions physicists ask. Here at the Dalhousie University Department of Physics , we provide an excellent undergraduate program. Whether you intend to pursue physics in the future, or are just curious about the field, we have interesting, and valuable classes available. In addition to learning about physics, you will also gain fundamental learning skills, applicable not only to other branches of science, but to life in general. Dalhousie Physics students find jobs both after they graduate, and while they are learning.
