Key Summary
About: The thesis-based Master of Science in Physics at Bishop’s University in the Eastern Townships of Quebec gives deeper appreciation of physics and rigorous training in research methodology to develop independent researchers. It focuses on astrophysics (stellar and binary evolution, exoplanets, multi-messenger astrophysics); gravitation and cosmology (modified gravity, gravitational and cosmological theory, black holes); and theoretical physics (quantum field theory, solitons, instantons, gravity, particle physics). Keywords: research methods, computational modeling, theoretical analysis.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue PhD study, academic roles, industry roles in data science, astronomy, space research, science communication, education, or technology, engineering roles using simulation, numerical, statistical skills.
The Master’s Program is designed to give students a deeper appreciation of physics while giving them a comprehensive exposure to research methodology that will allow them to become independent researchers. Research is being carried out in the following areas:
- Astrophysics (Stellar and Binary Evolution, Exoplanets, Multi-Messenger Astrophysics)
- Gravitation & Cosmology (Modified Gravity, Gravitational and Cosmological Theory, Black Holes)
- Theoretical Physics (Quantum Field theory, Solitons/Instantons, Gravity, Particle Physics)
