B.Sc. in Physics

Bachelor of Science in Physics –3 years
Physics (Main), Mathematics (Subsidiary 1), Chemistry (Subsidiary 2)

Physics is the world’s best-kept secret. Unlike other subjects, Physics is not about memorizing large amounts of information and regurgitating it for exams. Physics is about having a real feel for the way the world works.

It's about finding fascination in everything around you but also about being able to explain what’s behind some amazing phenomena. It’s a cliché but it's true that Physics covers everything from the tiniest fundamental particles to the vastness of the universe – there’s definitely something in it for everyone.

Today’s physics graduates offer specific subject-based knowledge and skills, together with a wide range of general skills, including mathematical and computational ability, electronics, verbal and written communication, data analysis, word-processing and so on.

Major employers are high technology and related industries, including electronics, optics, aerospace, computation and nuclear technology; physicists work in research, in development, and in general production.

Other opportunities in both industry and government establishments are in such field as medical physics and biophysics, geophysics, information technology, safety, and environmental monitoring.
