DEGREE PROGRAM
The Bachelor of Science in Physics Program consists of three levels:
Introductory, Intermediate and Advanced. The program starts with
introductory courses in Physics, while the Intermediate level builds
strong fundamentals in Physics through courses such as Mechanics,
Quantum Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Mathematical Methods,
Statistical Physics, Optics, Numerical and Computation Methods etc.
At the Advanced level, students choose ten elective courses from at
least seventeen electives of specialised fields. Eight focus fields offer
various respective elective courses. These are Plasma Physics, Laser
and Optoelectronics, Semiconductor Physics, Nuclear Physics and
Elementary Particle Physics, Space Physics, Radiation Physics,
Physics of Materials and Electronics. Students must carry out a final-
