A Ph.D. in Physics from a reputable programme provides a comprehensive education in the
field while providing the opportunity to contribute to the field through their own
research.
The three-year Ph.D. in Physics programme offered by the Department of Applied Science
& Humanities contains a core of General Physics including Mathematical Physics,
Classical Mechanics, and Quantum Mechanics. This core is then built upon with more
in-depth courses in topics of special interest such as Electrodynamics, Nuclear Physics,
Solid State Physics, Electronics and more. To complete the programme, students must
complete dissertation research in their specialty field and defend it before a committee
of faculty members.
The benefits of a Ph.D. in Physics go beyond the knowledge and skills gained. The
research experience and dissertation work provide students with the opportunity to work
closely with experts in the field and gain valuable experience. Also, a Ph.D. in Physics
opens doors to a variety of career options, including teaching, research, industry, and
consulting.
