Rocket science, meet medical science

If you enjoy biology and physics and want a career in medical technology or health research, Biological and Medical Physics at Waterloo is for you.

Run by the Department of Physics and Astronomy — one of the largest and most innovative physics departments in Canada — this flexible and interdisciplinary program is based on a solid foundation of physics, chemistry, and biology. Not to mention that students have the opportunity to gain paid work experience through their co-op work terms.

You’ll enjoy small classes, hands-on labs, and the opportunity to get involved in research and teaching.
