Explore the fundamental laws that govern the universe while gaining hands-on experience in experimentation, computation and problem-solving. This programme combines strong scientific foundations with cutting-edge fields such as quantum materials, nanotechnology, laser physics, and spintronics, preparing graduates for diverse careers in research, technology and innovation.
The BSc in Physics and BSc in Applied Physics programmes are run by the Division of Physics and Applied Physics at NTU's School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences.
The Physics programme covers a broad range of topics spanning most aspects of the natural world, from electromagnetism to quantum mechanics. The coursework consists of a balanced mix of theoretical, experimental, and computational components.
The Applied Physics programme builds up a solid foundation in physics, followed by advanced topics at the frontier of technology development, where the latest scientific discoveries are turned into new applications. Topics covered include spintronics, nanotechnology, laser physics, and advanced materials.
Graduate of both programmes have a wide range of career options utilising their uniquely flexible skill set, which includes quantitative, hands-on, computational, and problem-solving abilities.
