COURSE CURRICULUM

The physics program offers a deep dive into key areas of the field over three years, blending theoretical understanding with hands-on experience. In the first year, students explore foundational topics like electricity and magnetism, developing a solid grasp of Maxwell's equations and electromagnetic fields. Computational physics is introduced through Python and MATLAB, empowering students to solve mathematical problems and visualize data—skills highly sought after by industry employers. Laboratory and field physics training also plays a crucial role, providing practical experience in experimental procedures and clear scientific communication. Additionally, students gain a strong mathematical foundation in modeling physical systems, applying calculus, linear algebra, and statistics to a range of phenomena, and exploring the application of physics in global contexts like energy and astronomy. The second year focuses on modern physics, where students study the limitations of classical theories and delve into quantum mechanics, relativity, and wave mechanics. Mathematical physics continues, with an emphasis on applying advanced techniques to real-world problems. Thermodynamics, statistical physics, and optics round out the year, offering a comprehensive understanding of energy systems, waves, and light behavior. In the third year, students shift to specialized topics like astrophysics, cosmology, and solid-state physics. They examine the theoretical foundations of the universe, including dark matter and galaxy formation, and explore sustainability technologies through the study of solid-state detectors and materials. The program equips students with a mix of theoretical knowledge and practical expertise, preparing them for careers in research, academia, or industry.
