Graduate Studies
The Engineering Physicist uses the laws of physics to solve daily problems encountered by engineers. Therefore, he or she is a physicist and an engineer combined. One of the main purposes of an engineering physicist is to make the connection between people working in the fields of science and technology. Our graduates have to work in many different high-tech companies and laboratories, doing R&D or production.
L'École Polytechnique de Montréal is one of the few universities around the world to offer Undergraduate, Masters and Doctoral degrees in Engineering Physics. Undergraduate courses cover fundamental physics (optics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, solid-state physics) and their applications (lasers, communication, fiber optic, micro and nano technology).
Engineering Physics at Polytechnique is so much more than simply studying. Social events organized by the Engineering Physics Students Council (CEGP) and those organized for all engineering students include: seminars, industrial visits, contests, wine and cheese events and plenty of fun.
Whether it is for their Undergraduate, Masters or Doctoral degree, many students in Engineering Physics decide to pursue their studies overseas at another university for a semester or a year. The Student Exchange Program allows students to pursue their studies in one of France’s Grandes Écoles, such as l'École Polytechnique (l'X) and l'École Centrale Paris.
