Bachelor of Mathematics - Mathematical Physics (Co-op)

Study Mathematical Physics at the University of Waterloo! Gain hands-on experience through co-op opportunities. Apply now for international students!

Program Description In Mathematical Physics, students will combine theoretical physics with high-level math courses in differential equations, vector calculus, and applied mathematics. They will also get plenty of chances to apply that learning with hands-on labs in mechanics, electricity and magnetism, computer programming, optics, and more. Students won’t find a better place to study than the University of Waterloo. The Faculty of Mathematics is the largest in Canada. Meanwhile, the Department of Physics is one of Canada’s largest and most innovative, and this program comes with a co-op option so students can gain up to two years of paid work experience while pursuing their degree. This program fosters curious minds to question the smallest particles, the largest forces, and everything in between. Where students will get the support to possibly win a Nobel Prize in Physics (like the University of Waterloo professor Dr. Donna Strickland) or be part of the team to take the first image of a black hole (like professor Avery Broderick). Whatever door students choose, the University of Waterloo offers the key to open it.
