The aim of the minor is to provide students whose core program (major) includes a substantial introduction to this field and who could envisage studying for a master's in physical science with additional training in physics.

The minor in physics is intended for all students who hold baccalaureates in mathematical science, geographical science or engineering science. It is also open, on the advice of the conseiller aux études (course adviser), to students who have obtained sufficient training in basic mathematics and physics.

MATH, FSA or GEOG bachelors who have taken this minor will be admitted on to the master's in physical science, possibly with a program adapted to suit their needs. The same rule applies to other students who have taken this minor, with possible restrictions depending on their course background. Nevertheless, any student who wishes to make this change to his/her study path is invited to make contact with the conseiller aux études (course adviser) from his/her own faculty as well as that of the department of physics.
