WITH 400 PROGRAMS IN OVER 100 DISCIPLINES, HOW DO YOU DECIDE?

How do you choose what to study?Choose what you’re passionate about and what will lead to your dream job. Take the time to explore the many disciplines offered at the University of Ottawa. See pages 13 to 16.

When do you choose?For most programs, when you apply. You must indicate your choice of first discipline on the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre form. For a step-by-step guide on how to apply, see page 52.

Sociology and biology, history and health sciences… How can you combine them? Are you passionate about many subjects? Some programs allow you to add a second discipline to your bachelor’s. You can even combine disciplines from different faculties.

Major, minor, specialization… What’s the difference?Two things are different: the total number of courses you must take in your first discipline and the option or the requirement to add a second discipline. To compare programs, see the diagram on the right.

What about CO-OP?Over 60 undergraduate disciplines allow you to combine paid work placements with courses for an honours degree. Look for the COOP symbol in the tables on pages 13 to 16.

Can you study in French too?Our French immersion stream allows students coming from English-language schools to include courses taught in French in their program and receive a mention of French immersion on their diploma. For more information on French immersion, see page 6. To see what disciplines it’s offered in, see pages 13 to 16.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES• Physicist• Materials science specialist or researcher• Telecommunications specialist or researcher• Aerospace specialist or researcher• Photonics specialist or researcher• Biophysicist• Geophysicist• Medical physicist• Meteorologist• Astrophysicist• Physics teacher

PHYSICS AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Discover the fundamental laws of nature, and then apply this knowledge in the design of breakthrough technologies that will transform our society. While physics probes big questions, from the origin of the universe to the workings of the quantum world, electrical engineering underlies the technologies that are ubiquitous in our modern world, from power generation to the computer chip. By teaching you the foundations of how nature works, and then how to innovate with this knowledge, this integrated program will uniquely equip you to tackle societal and technological problems facing us and future generations. In five years you will earn two degrees, one in physics and one in electrical engineering.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES• Physicist• Electrical engineer• Industrial research and development scientist or engineer• Materials scientist• Avionics engineer• Power systems and renewable energy engineer• Biomedical researcher or engineer

FACULTY OF SCIENCE – MINORSThese two disciplines can be added to your main discipline as a minor only. Direct admission is not possible.

BIOPHYSICSThe Minor in Biophysics gives students a valuable introduction to this growing interdisciplinary field. While it is intended primarily for life science students, it is also suitable for other non-physics students who have an interest in the intersection of physics and biology. This program cannot be combined with any honours or major in physics. Biological physics can be taken as an option within the honours program in physics.

LIFE SCIENCESThe Minor in Life Sciences gives students who carefully choose their optional courses the prerequisites to apply to schools of medicine, dentistry or pharmacy. Students are strongly urged to carefully check the admission requirements of schools they are considering. This minor cannot be combined with other life sciences programs (Biochemistry, Biology, Biomedical Science) as they already cover the material of the minor and more fully prepare students thinking of entering life science-based professions.

The Biosciences Complex is home to a greenhouse, a “living classroom” simulating a boreal forest and wetland. Here, a student studies the growth of African violet explants.
