Physics & Applied Physics
What will you do during your degree?
While here you will gain a solid foundation of physics skills and the principles that govern the natural world. Course content, projects and research will give you ample opportunity to explore the theoretical and applied aspects of physics. Small class sizes, department events, and active student societies mean you will get to know faculty, staff, and other physics students right away.
Key components of the program:
- Introductory courses: You will take a series of core classes in classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanic, and thermodynamics. The fundamental knowledge required to comprehend the physical universe is taught in these classes.
- Advanced topics: In your upper years, advanced courses may delve into topics like special relativity, optics, solid-state and atmospheric physics.
- Laboratory work: Hands-on laboratory experiments are a crucial part of the program, allowing you to apply theoretical knowledge, conduct experiments and develop essential scientific skills.
- Research opportunities: You could work on research projects alongside faculty members or pursue your own research project in your final year.
