About this programme

Discover how the universe works and develop practical skills in problem-solving, experimentation, and critical thinking with UFV’s Physics programs. Physics students explore research in areas like particle physics while gaining skills for future careers. Dive into the foundations of the universe through hands-on experiments, mathematical modeling, and critical inquiry. At UFV, Physics students build a deep understanding of mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and modern physics, while developing experimental, computational, and analytical skills. You’ll have opportunities to engage in undergraduate research, interdisciplinary projects, and collaborations with faculty. Whether you envision graduate studies, work in applied science, engineering, or technology, our supportive community and small class sizes will help you reach your goals. The Physics program at UFV, combined with the co-op option, gave me a strong foundation of physics and hands-on work experience in the field. The teaching-focused faculty are excellent educators who encourage and support the success of their students. With small class sizes, I was able to connect with my professors, personalize my learning experience, and get involved with the campus community. — Annabelle Czihaly, BSc Physics (UFV), MSc Physics (UVic), B.Ed (UBC), current Physics Faculty Member at Douglas College Academic Calendar Find your program How to Apply Book a tour Transfer credits Tuition & fees FAQs Ask a question A to Z websites Directory Emergency contacts IT Service Desk Reset your password Safety & Security myUFV
