Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) Physics
Course
The physics curriculum begins with a broad introductory course which is designed to give a more coherent overview and at the same time fill gaps both in skills and understanding. This first course is intended to rebuild a good foundation on which the rest of the undergraduate programme can rest. The time honoured core structure encompasses mechanics, electricity, heat, light and other wave phenomena, and twentieth century physics. These are the bedrock of undergraduate training everywhere and this programme is no exception.
Viewed at the broadest level, physics studies natural phenomena, and searches for the general laws which govern them. The tools are measurement and experimentation on the one hand, and mathematics and computation on the other. At present, the subject has a large body of well established principles, as well as many exciting frontier areas. The subjects cover a very wide range – from the scale of the whole universe, as in astrophysics, to the smallest constituents of matter, as in particle physics. The laws are formulated in terms of mathematics, which is extensively used in theoretical physics, and has developed a style of its own, distinct from the mathematical mainstream.
The relevance of an understanding of physics to the major concerns of humanity, such as energy and climate, means that a basic understanding of the underlying principles is needed by professional practitioners but also those who make decisions in these areas, as well as educated citizens.
Duration
Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) Physics is a 3- year undergraduate course, extended over six semesters.
