Student success

The physics program at UFV, combined with the co-op option, gave me a strong foundation of physics and hands-on work experience in the field. The teaching-focused faculty are excellent educators who encourage and support the success of their students. With small class sizes, I was able to connect with my professors, personalize my learning experience, and get involved with the campus community.

After starting graduate school, I realized just how fortunate I was to have studied physics at UFV. The smaller class sizes provided a tailored learning experience, allowing me to explore my areas of interest while always feeling supported by the faculty. The medical physics courses were a particular highlight, giving me the opportunity to experience the field firsthand before committing to it for further studies.

The UFV BSc in Physics was a great starting point for my physics education. I benefitted from the small class sizes and ease of access to the professors' time. Importantly, the courses taught by medical physicists from BC Cancer were an important opportunity for me to learn more about the field of medical physics.
