温尼伯大学拥有国家认可的物理系。对理论和实验物理学中的多个主题进行了研究。实验学家研究钻石和半导体的性质，MRI的医学用途以及亚原子粒子的特性，而理论学家则对黑洞，热空间，混沌，量子计算机和量子引力的内部工作原理进行想象，推断和研究。鼓励学生通过暑期与研究小组一起参加这些研究活动。该课程可以取得理学学士学位（3年，4年或荣誉学位）。四年制和荣誉课程有化学，计算和数学物理流选项。
The goal of physics is to formulate theories, or laws, which summarize our knowledge of the natural world. We dont yet know all the basic laws of nature, or how many laws there are.<br><br>The famous physicist Richard Feynman said the first principle of science is that the test of all knowledge is experiment and experiment is the sole judge of scientific truth. But what is the source of knowledge Where do the laws that are to be tested come from Experiment itself helps to produce these laws in the sense that it gives us hints. We also need imagination to create from these hints the great generalizations: to guess at the wonderful, simple, but very strange patterns beneath them all, and then to experiment to check again whether we have made the right guess. Physics needs people with imagination and a thirst to understand the inner workings of nature.<br><br>Research in physics often gives rise to unexpected benefits, with revolutionary discoveries like galaxies, lasers, magnetic resonance imaging, fibre optic communications, and the transistor.<br><br>The University of Winnipeg has a nationally recognized Physics Department. Research is conducted on a variety of topics in both theoretical and experimental physics. The experimentalists study the nature of diamonds and semiconductors, medical uses of MRI, and the properties of subatomic particles, while the theorists imagine, deduce and investigate the inner workings of black holes, hot space, chaos, quantum computers, and quantum gravity. Students are encouraged to participate in these research activities through summer employment with research groups.
