Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics Course content

The programme is four years in duration.The first two years provide you with a strong foundation in the following areas:

• Mechanics
• Thermodynamics
• Optics
• Electromagnetism
• Modern Physics
• Experimental Physics
• Chemistry
• Electronics
• Computing
• Mathematics

The third and fourth years of study provide core material in the following areas:

• Quantum Mechanics
• Semiconductors
• Nanotechnology
• Computational Physics
• Medical Instrumentation

An important element of the final year is an Applied Physics project which gives you the opportunity to study a problem in depth. During the Spring Semester and Summer of third year a period of Cooperative Education gives you the experience of the application of Physics in an industrial environment.
