Key Summary

    About : The BSc in Applied Physics focuses on the practical applications of physics in various fields. Students will learn about core principles and methodologies of physics, developing critical problem-solving skills. This program typically spans three years, offering a comprehensive understanding of both theoretical concepts and practical techniques.
    Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue various career paths in industries such as telecommunications, electronics, and engineering. Potential job roles include research scientist, physicist, or project manager, where they utilize their analytical skills and technical knowledge in real-world applications.

Physics is concerned with describing and predicting natural phenomena. Applied physics is concerned with applying physics in technical solutions. Design and construction are important aspects of this.

Applied physics is at the heart of society. It forms the basis for many of the products we use in daily life. The program has a strong interdisciplinary orientation, with an emphasis on combinations of subjects: physics with design studies, nanotechnology, new materials and systems, and control engineering

Applied physics involves studying not only how phenomena come about, but also how to use them for technical solutions. The program focuses on theory and practice.

Critical appraisal skills

Applied physics is an academic subject, which means that you acquire not only knowledge but also skills such as presentation, working in a team, and setting up and conducting research. We teach you critical appraisal skills, which you will learn to apply to your own and other's work.

Tough subject

Applied physics can certainly be described as a 'tough' subject. In order to study it, you need to have an affinity for sciences and you need to have an enquiring and creative mind that wonders how things work.
