PROGRAM GOAL
1. To produce graduates with vast knowledge and sound understanding in physics along with practical, analytical and mathematical skills for a physicists.
2. To produce graduates with oral and written communication skills and ability to work effectively in various diciplines as a team.
3. To produce graduates with high commitment towards ethical practice and appreciation towards enviromental, social and safety factors in carrying out
their work.
4. To produce graduates with independent learning and problem solving skills which can be used in diversed careers.

PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of the Degree of Bachelor of Science (Physics) program, graduates are able to:
1. Demonstrate proficiency in the basic knowledge in the major fields of physics (classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, quantum mechanics,
statistical mechanics and thermodynamics) and the field of applied physics (e.g. solid state physics, optics, nuclear physics, atomic physics, etc.).
2. Demonstrate practical skills in physics such as designing, setting up experiments, collecting and analyzing data, identifying sources of error, interpreting
experimental results and connecting results to related physics concepts or other scientific theories).
3. Value the need for sustainable development in the practice of physics for the needs of society and the environment.
4. Demonstrate capability in seeking creative and practical solutions to meet the requirements and changes dictated by the work environment in a
scientific, professional and ethical way.
5. Demonstrate communication, leadership and team work skills particularly in relating scientific and technical information through both written and oral
presentations.
6. Apply physics principles to novel situations, both in the classroom and in research settings, through critical thinking, problem solving, mathematical and
computer modeling, and laboratory experimentation.
7. Manage effectively the rigor and discipline it takes to be a good scientist with efficient time management and appropriate use of resources.
8. Apply their physics experience and knowledge to explore opportunities in entrepreneurship world.
