专业描述

Physics is concerned with the mathematical formulation of the fundamental laws of nature. An education in physics provides students with the foundation for a variety of careers. In addition to preparation for graduate study in physics and related fields, undergraduate study in physics is an excellent preparation for professional careers in engineering, management, teaching, law and medicine. The curriculum consists of core courses on the fundamentals of physics such as mechanics, electromagnetism and quantum theory. Students can then choose from an array of electives to explore subfields in physics such as astrophysics, biological physics, condensed matter physics, general relativity, nanotechnology, quantum optics, nuclear and particle physics.
