Course description
Physics is a core natural science that explores the structure of matter and the interactions among the fundamental elements of the observable universe. It encompasses all aspects of the universe, from the vastness of galaxies to the minutiae of subatomic particles. The ultimate aim is to develop universal laws that explain all physical phenomena, typically expressed through mathematics. Graduates with a physics degree are highly sought after due to their extensive and comprehensive education. Career opportunities span research and development at universities, research institutes, and industries, as well as roles in information and communication companies or management consultancy. To fully leverage these opportunities, students are encouraged to pursue a research-oriented Master's degree after their Bachelor's. This advanced program deepens their specialist knowledge, understanding of scientific methods in physics, and familiarity with related disciplines, depending on the chosen modules. A Master's degree also prepares students for a potential doctorate. Given the promising career prospects, the goal of the Master's program in Physics is to cultivate flexibility and academic independence rather than narrow specialization. This approach benefits both research and professional applications, ensuring graduates are well-equipped for diverse challenges and opportunities.
