Pakistani graduates can pursue a research-based master’s degree in Physics at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada. The university reports median annual funding of CAD 34,361 for students enrolled in its Master of Science (MSc) in Physics program.
The opportunity is open to eligible domestic and international applicants, including students from Pakistan. Funding can help cover tuition and living expenses through university awards, research assistantships and teaching assistantships.
Students planning to join the September 2027 intake should check the department’s application requirements and deadlines carefully.
Scholarship Offers Two Years of Financial Support
UBC’s MSc Physics program is based at its Vancouver campus. Students generally receive financial support for two years, provided they maintain satisfactory academic progress and meet the conditions attached to their funding.
The reported CAD 34,361 figure represents median annual gross funding based on historical university data. It is not a guaranteed award for every student.
