COURSE CURRICULUM

MSc program in Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manitoba is designed for students who wish to deepen their understanding of advanced physics through both coursework and original research. Students must complete 12 credit hours of study, including 6 credit hours at the 7000 level and 6 credit hours at the 3000 level or above, along with a research-based master’s thesis. This structure ensures a strong foundation in theoretical and applied physics while allowing for focused specialization. The program covers a wide range of topics through diverse course offerings such as PHYS 7260: Mass Spectroscopy, PHYS 7360: Medical Radiation Physics, and PHYS 7390: Radiation Protection, catering to interests in medical and applied physics. Core theoretical subjects are addressed in PHYS 7500: Condensed Matter Physics 1, PHYS 7530: Physics of Magnetism, PHYS 7560: Relativistic Quantum Mechanics, and PHYS 7590: Electromagnetic Theory. For those interested in fundamental physics and cosmology, PHYS 7630: Particle Physics and PHYS 7660: Astronomy 1: The Phenomenology of Galaxies provide advanced study opportunities. This program prepares students for careers in research, industry, or further academic study by combining rigorous academic training with hands-on experience in cutting-edge scientific research.
