Program objectives
The BSc Physics curriculum has the following general objectives:
- To cultivate physicists who combine a high level of numeracy with the ability to apply their skills and experience;
- To develop students’ awareness of the role of Physics in contemporary applications, together with the skills of logical thought and a flexibility of mind that will help them continue their personal development throughout their subsequent career;
- To lay emphasis on the fundamentals of Physics, whilst offering students a wide range of final year options that are intended to stimulate the versatility, knowledge and skills that employers look for in a Physics graduate.
- Ensure quality education in Physics within a stimulating and supportive environment committed to excellence in Physics (theoretical, experimental, computational, research and community services);
- To support students develop the ability to carry out experimental or/and other investigations, analyze the results critically, draw valid conclusions, and communicate their findings both verbally and in writing;
- To render public consultations in areas closely related to Physics;
- To develop the students ability to work independently and in groups or cooperatively;
- To enhance the capability of the students to work as professional physicists in industries, research and other institutions/organizations;
- To have enhanced skills in mathematics; problem solving; experimental techniques; scientific report writing; collecting, analyzing and presenting information;
