MSMP Degree requirements
The MSMP program offers two options: a 16-month (four term) course-based option and a 2 year (six
term) course-plus-project (MRP) option.
Graduate Science Preparation Program
All students accepted into the program will be required to complete an intensive
Graduate Science Preparation Seminar (GSPS)
usually during the first term of the MSc program. The GSPS program will prepare students for the academic demands of graduate programs at Brock University. Many students have the language prerequisite for admission to Brock but struggle academically in their graduate studies. GSPS addresses this issue, concentrating on the development of academic skills such as critical thinking and synthesizing arguments and ideas, referencing and plagiarism, academic presentations and discussions, and the development of specialized vocabulary.
Orientation
The Faculty of Graduate Studies provides orientation to all incoming graduate students. In addition students in the MSMP program will be expected to complete the Graduate Science Preparation Seminar (GSPS) and participate in specialized workshops and/or training sessions which may include library, safety training and academic integrity policy.
Academic Program
The Master of Science in Materials Physics degree requirements consist of 10 half credits of course work. Students must enroll in theoretical courses, experimental/ laboratory courses, a computational
science course, and a research seminar course.
Theoretical Courses:
- PHYS 5P70 (Advanced Condensed Matter Physics),
- PHYS 5P11 (Theoretical Foundations of Materials Physics I)
- PHYS 5P12 (Theoretical Foundations of Materials Physics II)
- PHYS 5P83 (Foundations of Materials Physics Characterization)
Experimental/Laboratory Courses:
- PHYS 5P79 (Advanced Experimental Methods in Condensed Matter Physics)
- PHYS 5P80 (Experimental Methods in Materials Physics)
- PHYS 5P81 (Sample Preparation and Characterization Techniques for Materials Physics)
- PHYS 5P82 (Materials Physics Term Project)
Computational Courses:
- PHYS 5P10 (Introduction to Scientific Computing)
Research Seminar Course:
- PHYS 5P92 (Graduate Seminar in Materials Physics)
