Bachelor of Science - Ocean Physics

Program Description Many students come to Memorial, in part, because of Memorial's strength in ocean research and its geographical proximity to the ocean. This unique program, aimed at students looking for interdisciplinary training in both physics and oceanography, strengthens that connection. Ocean physics provides students with basic and essential knowledge to study the physics of the ocean, atmosphere and climate and contains connections with th e disciplines of meteorology, atmospheric science and environmental science.

Many of Memorial's undergraduates are actively involved in physics research programs. This experience provides both summer employment and an excellent preparation for a career in industrial or university research. Memorial is the only Eastern Canadian university offering physics with an ocean focus.

A bachelor of science degree, with a major in ocean physics, prepares students for a variety of careers including:

• oceanography • meteorology • environmental officer

Direct admission to this major is not available at the time of application. Students must complete certain first-year courses and may need to meet minimum grade requirements before applying to the major.
