32.18.1 Program of Study for Master of Science in Physical Oceanography
-
Preference for admission will be given to students with a B. Sc. Honours Degree who have taken senior undergraduate courses in fluids, oceanography, and mathematical physics.
-
Students are normally required to take a minimum of 12 credit hours in graduate level courses, of which at least 6 credit hours shall be selected from among the courses listed in Courses below between the numbers 6300 - 6399.
-
Before submission of the thesis to the School of Graduate Studies for examination, the student must present a seminar on the topic of his/her thesis research.
32.18.2 Program of Study for Master of Science in Physics
-
Preference for admission will be given to students with a B. Sc. Honours Degree in physics. Students should normally have taken senior undergraduate courses in physics, such as electricity and magnetism, statistical physics, quantum mechanics, or experimental physics.
