渥太华卡尔顿物理研究所（OCIP）成立于1983年，结合了渥太华大学和卡尔顿大学的研究实力。该研究所提供的研究生课程可通往物理学的硕士学位（MSc）和博士学位（PhD）。研究设施在两个校园之间共享。学生可以访问两所大学的教授，课程和设施，但是，他们必须在论文指导者的“本国大学”就读。
Established in 1983, the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Physics (OCIP) combines the research strengths of the University of Ottawa and Carleton University. The Institute offers graduate programs leading to the master’s (MSc) and doctoral (PhD) degrees in Physics.Research facilities are shared between the two campuses. Students have access to the professors, courses and facilities at both universities; however, they must enroll at the “home university” of the thesis supervisor.
