Upon completion of the degree, students may opt to pursue higher degrees in physics with a research focus in computational physics or choose a career in an industry where the combination of analytical and computational skills are put to practice e.g. software, manufacturing and banking industry.
Degree Aims
- Provide a sound conceptual basis in core Physics: classical mechanics, electromagnetic theory, quantum mechanics, statistical physics and solid state physics.
- Provide a strong background in numerical analysis and computational techniques.
- Transfer concepts and principles in the formulation and solving of representative computational problems and situations in different branches of physics.
- Gain awareness on the impact of physics on the socio-economic fabric and environment in a global context and demonstrate responsible conduct therein while demonstration of responsible citizenship, emotional control and ability to act beyond self-interest towards creating an equitable society.
