Astronomers and physicists study the material world and the energy that drives it, from the smallest particles like neutrinos and Higgs bosons to the very largest structures in the universe, and ultimately the universe itself. This program has a large overlap with mathematics, chemistry, biology, and engineering and can be approached from each of these angles.
Why this program?
- Study at one of the top physics departments in Canada with an outstanding international reputation.
- UBC is one of the few universities in the world offering an undergraduate degree in astronomy.
- Pursue graduate work in astronomy, physics, or astrophysics.
