Schools Top Canadian Universities for Undergrad Physics Programs

AI Thread Summary
Several Canadian universities are highlighted for their strong undergraduate physics programs, including the University of British Columbia (UBC), University of Toronto (U of T), McGill University (McGill), and the University of Alberta (U of A). The University of Alberta is noted for its quality programs and is home to the National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT), although it often gets overlooked in discussions. The University of Waterloo is also mentioned for its strong AI program, which may be of interest to students considering interdisciplinary studies. The consensus suggests that while the reputation of the university can matter, the quality of teaching and the opportunity to engage with faculty members conducting research in specific fields of interest are more crucial factors in choosing an undergraduate program.

Which universities in Canada have good undergrad physics programs?

How important is it where one's undergrad degree comes from?

I have no idea what I want to do, or the field in which I would like to specialise.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
ubc/uft/mac and i think ualb(thats where NINT is)
 
Univeristy of Alberta always seems to get overlooked by everyone, but it is a great university, I love it there. I'm not in physics or engineering but from what I have seen/heard the programs are both great. And yes U of A is home to NINT.
 
does UA have a strong AI program
 
Thank you all

So, it does not particularly matter where one goes for undergrad study?
 
you should look for faculty members that do research in particular fields you wnat to study.
