Are you passionate about physics, scientific research and advanced technology? The Master of Science (MSc) in Physics at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC), Prince George Campus, offers students an opportunity to deepen their understanding of physics and develop research skills through postgraduate study.
This program can be a suitable option for graduates with a background in physics or a related discipline who wish to pursue advanced studies and explore research-oriented career opportunities in Canada.
UNBC describes the MSc in Physics as a research-oriented graduate program with both thesis and project options. The normal completion time is two academic years.
According to the admission details provided:
A recognised four-year Bachelor's degree is required.
Minimum CGPA: 65% (as advertised).
Applicants should have an academic background relevant to Physics.
Additional application requirements:
A statement of interest explaining academic interests, research ambitions and reasons for applying.
A proposed faculty supervisor agreement is required before the application can be considered.
Admission is competitive, and meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance.
The MSc in Physics allows students to develop advanced knowledge and research skills in physics. Students can choose between two study pathways:
1. Thesis Option
Conduct original scientific research.
Work under the guidance of a faculty supervisor.
Prepare and defend a research thesis.
2. Project Option
Complete advanced coursework.
Undertake a research-based project.
Develop interdisciplinary and practical research skills.
The program includes graduate seminars, elective courses and research or project work.
Graduates may explore opportunities in:
Scientific and academic research
Research laboratories
Physics and technology industries
Data analysis and scientific computing
Technical and research organisations
Further doctoral studies (PhD)
Some specialised roles may require additional qualifications or experience.
Potentially eligible
One important advantage of this program is its 24-month Master's degree duration.
Under current IRCC rules, the spouse or common-law partner of an international student may be eligible to apply for an open work permit if the student is enrolled in a Master's degree program lasting at least 16 months.
Since the UNBC MSc in Physics normally takes 24 months, it meets the program-duration condition. However, the spouse must satisfy the applicable IRCC requirements, and approval is not guaranteed.
The MSc in Physics is a university Master's degree. Under current IRCC rules, eligible graduates of Master's programs can qualify for a PGWP of up to three years, even when the program is shorter than two years.
Applicants must meet all applicable requirements, including the language requirement of CLB 7 in all four abilities for Master's graduates. Final eligibility depends on the student's circumstances and IRCC rules at the time of application.
The advertised annual tuition is CAD $8,112. UNBC's published 2026–27 international graduate tuition is CAD $2,704.15 per semester, which is approximately CAD $8,112.45 over three semesters. Additional student and other fees may apply, and future tuition can change.
