B.Sc. Honours Physics (Medical Physics) (and Co-op)

at University of Windsor

The program of study is carefully crafted to retain all of the physics and mathematics contained in a traditional physics degree (allowing maximum career flexibility), while, at the same time, introducing new content in biology, biochemistry, and specialized areas of medical physics, including radiological physics, medical imaging, and radiobiology. Both thesis and co-op options are offered.

Admission Requirements 
All physics programs have a mean admission average of 89% and a minimum admission average of 75% + 70% second science/math. ENG4U, MHF4U and SPH4U are required. MCV4U is strongly recommended and SCH4U is recommended. 

The tuition fees for B.Sc. Honours Physics (Medical Physics) (and Co-op) may vary from $40,000 to $60,000 annually for tuition fees. The fee's prices may get higher for International Students.

Career Paths 
 

• Career opportunities are available immediately upon graduation. However, students may wish to acquire full professional certification as a medical physicist by completing a CAMPEP-accredited graduate program available at several universities across Canada. The final step in the qualification process is the completion of a CAMPEP-accredited residency to be eligible for Board certification with either the Canadian College of Medical Physicists (CCPM) or the American Board of Radiology (ABR).
• Our graduates have been accepted to accredited programs at Wayne State University, McGill University, the University of Calgary, Western University, as well as the University of Toronto and the University of Ottawa. This preparation may lead to a career as a licensed medical physicist (hospital or clinic).

Other careers include:
 

• Industrial/research medical physicist (medical technology company)

• Government and clinical laboratories

• Graduate studies (MSc or PhD) in physics/astronomy

• Professional schools such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and medical physics

• Computer programming/software development

• Financial services

• Entrepreneur, business

• Education (with additional studies)

• Law (with additional studies)
