The Bachelor of Science in Physics program focuses on the in-depth study of physics, one of the most important of the basic sciences. The program is based on understanding the fundamental laws of the universe and exploring how these laws apply to various phenomena. The main goal of the program is to provide students with the ability to understand different states of matter, such as solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas; concepts such as energy, force, and motion; and a wide range of physical processes, from subatomic particles to galaxies.
Academic content generally covers fundamental physics disciplines such as mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics and atomic physics. Advanced topics, such as general relativity, solid state physics and particle physics, are also covered. Laboratory work plays an important role in putting this knowledge into practice. Students develop skills in experimentation, data analysis and scientific thinking.
Teaching methods include lectures, interactive discussions, laboratory experiences and projects. Textbooks, scientific articles and online resources are used as teaching materials. Some programs may also make use of technological tools such as virtual reality or simulation software.
Career opportunities for physics graduates are quite diverse. Graduates can find jobs in academia, research laboratories, industrial sectors (e.g. energy, nanotechnology, telecommunications), or even in finance and consulting. They also have the chance to teach in the education sector.
The program often offers internship and practicum opportunities. This allows students to develop practical solutions to real-world problems and gain experience in the world of work. Some programs also allow students to participate in scientific research projects or attend summer schools. These experiences help students develop practical skills and professional networks before starting their careers.
