Graduate programs
Become part of a collaborative research community where your ideas and curiosity drive meaningful discoveries.
Our research culture
The Department of Physics nurtures collaborative research groups where students work side by side with faculty on innovative theoretical and experimental projects — a defining feature of our three research-centered, thesis-based graduate programs.
With access to state-of-the-art facilities and partnerships across Concordia, Montreal and major research institutes, you’ll contribute to advances in areas ranging from nanoscience to medical physics to quantum materials.
Physics (MSc)
The MSc in Physics centres on immersive research supported by mentorship in small groups and advanced coursework. In specialized facilities, students work with experts in areas such as photonics, quantum materials, biophysics, biomedical physics and more.
Nanoscience & Nanotechnology (MSc, MASc)
The MSc/MASc in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology prepares students to work at the frontier where physics, biochemistry and engineering meet. Students develop hands-on experimental and computational skills while working in interdisciplinary teams.
Physics (PhD)
The PhD in Physics offers research-intensive training in advanced facilities and dedicated faculty mentorship. Students pursue original work in areas such as photonics, quantum materials, biophysics, biomedical physics and more, gaining deep expertise and contributing new knowledge within their chosen research specialization.
Find a supervisor
Get to know our physicists, their research and areas of expertise. Should you find a faculty member with a common interest, reach out to introduce yourself.
Prospective graduate students must be selected by one or two (in case of joint supervision) faculty members as a condition for final admission. Upon admission, the research supervisor(s) and the department accept the responsibility for ensuring and arranging the financial support for the student for at least two years, contingent upon satisfactory performance.
