The Faculty of Natural Sciences regulations permit a Primary–Minor track that combines study in two different departments: one as primary and one as minor. The Physics Department may serve as either primary or minor.
In principle the programme lasts three years, but scheduling conflicts between compulsory courses in the two departments may extend it to four.
Credit requirements:
- Total: at least 120 credits
- Physics as primary department: 92 credits
- Physics as minor: at least 28 credits
In cases of partial overlap between compulsory course lists of the two departments, the student must make up the remaining credits through elective courses — in the primary department or the minor — subject to approval by the teaching committee of the primary department. Students studying Physics as a minor who wish to continue to a Master's degree in the field must complete all compulsory courses.
Track principles (Faculty of Natural Sciences):
- Total programme: at least 120 credits, three years where possible.
- Primary department: 92 credits.
- Minor: 28 credits — not recorded on the degree certificate.
- Admission requirements are identical to those of the single-major track in the relevant department.
- Admission requires acceptance by both the primary department and the minor; acceptance to only one is not possible.
- The degree awarded is a B.A. or B.Sc. according to the primary department.
- The primary-department programme must allow graduates to continue to a Master's degree in that department.
- Completing the minor to Master's level requires supplementary coursework.
