About This Course
Physics is one of the most fundamental of all sciences, and is the basis of our scientific knowledge of the physical world. It seeks to explain the behaviour of matter, time and space in the universe and covers phenomena ranging from subnuclear interactions to cosmological events like the Big Bang. The traditional B.Sc. degree in Physics is centred on understanding scientific fundamentals and it is through this basic approach that advances in scientific knowledge and technological innovations are made.
What You'll Learn
B.Sc. (Hons.) in Physics is a rigorous course covering the core topics in physics. The broadness of the scope and the training in critical thinking and in analysis will enable graduates to choose from a wide variety of careers.
Core modules include PC1141/2/3/4 Physics I-IV, MA1505/6 Mathematics I-II, PC2130 & PC3130 Quantum Mechanics I-II, PC2131 Electricity and Magnetism I, PC2132 Classical Mechanics, PC2193/PC3193 Experimental Physics I-II, and PC2230 Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics are examples of modules that are offered by the Physics major.
Students can also choose from a variety of modules such as PC3231 Electricity and Magnetism II, PC3232 Nuclear and Particle Physics, PC3251 Nanophysics, and PC3267 Biophysics II.
B.Sc. (Hons.) students can choose to specialise in one of the following areas: (i) Astrophysics, and (ii) Nanophysics. These programmes will prepare graduates with in-depth knowledge in each area of specialisation. Modules offered in Astrophysics specialization include PC3246 Astrophysics I, and PC4248 General Relativity. Modules offered in Nanophysics specialisation include PC3242 Physics of Semiconductor Processing, PC3243 Photonics, PC4246 Quantum Optics, and PC4253 Thin Film Technology.
