BSc in Physics (4-year cohort students)
The BSc in Physics program provides a solid physics curriculum for students with different career aspirations. The basic program in physics includes courses such as classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and laboratory courses. For students aiming for further studies such as PhD in physics or related fields, they have the opportunity to take advanced courses to build a solid foundation and are encouraged to seek opportunities in undergraduate research. For students with other career goals, the curriculum provides training of analytical skills that will help the students meet challenges in all sectors of society. The curriculum is flexible so that a significant fraction of our students choose to pursue a minor in other subjects in addition to the major degree in physics.
