Physics and the technologies developed by physicists play a major role in chemistry, biology, medicine, electronics, geology, in applied fields of optics, nanotechnology, computer science, and engineering. A knowledge and understanding of the principles of physics not only leads to a profound understanding of the physical world but also supplies the scientist with the insight to develop new and innovative ideas. The technology and devices such as the cell phone, the laser printer, the internet, MRI, high temperature superconductors and high speed computers that influence our daily lives are based upon the discoveries of physics. Electronics based subjects such as advanced electronics, industrial electronics, instrumentation & measurement, communication electronics are some of the main subjects for this programme. This is then supported by additional subjects such as laser, non-destructive techniques, optoelectronics, photonics and many others which are closely related to current industry.

The main objectives of this programme are to provide scientist who (i) are able to utilise knowledge and experiences, administer and manage present and future technology according to people’s needs, (ii) can maximise their ability as a member of public and as skilled workers, renown physics scholar and able to compete globally, (iii) use their intellect to analyse, propose, and make creative and innovative decision, (iv) play a major role to raise public’s happiness by the use of technology, (v) can help the nation create a scientific and progressive society with advanced culture and farsightedness.

CAREERS

Industrial Physics offers challenging, exciting, and productive careers which cover many specialised fields such as acoustics, astronomy, astrophysics, medical physics, geophysics, and vacuum sciences. Physics opens doors to employment opportunities throughout the world in government, industry (semiconductors, electronics, manufacturing, to name a few), educators and researchers in private organizations. Some of our graduates have also been employed as engineers, quality controllers or system analysts
