The Department of Physics aspires to achieve scientific leadership in the fields of physics and astronomy, and for the graduate to be highly responsible and have high learning skills, in order to achieve the general goals of the university, and keep pace with the modern scientific and civilizational development that the university has adopted at the present time. It is expected that the graduate will be a competitor to his peers in the global scientific fields. Before we talk about the details of the skills that the educational system should focus on, we would like to point out that the department graduate is expected to have some of the following main characteristics:

1-    The ability to self-learn: The graduate has the ability and willingness to search in various sources of knowledge to strengthen his information in any physics topic that needs to be explored in depth.

2-    Many personal skills: They play an important role in distinguishing one graduate from another in competitive work fields.

3-    He must have the desire and ambition to work in one of the research or teaching fields.

4-    The graduate must have English language skills in his field of specialization, speaking, writing and reading.
5-    Experience in the fields of information technology (IT).

6-    Skills in the practical aspect.

The most important of these characteristics that the student should train on are determined according to his vision for his practical future after graduation and to which scientific fields he can head; for example, someone who wants to work in teaching in the pre-university stages does not need much to learn the English language, and he also needs limited experience in the field of information technology (IT). As for someone who aspires to work in a research institute and wants to head towards postgraduate studies, he should pay attention to most of the aforementioned skills. As for someone who wants to work in industrial institutions, he may need some of these skills more than others; personal skills, the ability to learn independently, and information technology (IT) may take priority in what the graduate should have. Thus, the student should pay attention to a set of skills that can qualify him for fields he wants, or may be close to his desires and ambitions.

Dear student, we provide you with the skills that will help you reach high levels of learning and build your scientific personality, as well as the skills that can help you overcome the educational problems that you may encounter.

Skills that the student must train on:

A-    Physical skills: They include two main sections:

1-    Acquiring information Knowledge for each course from several sources; these sources include the prescribed book, scientific references in the university library, using the Internet, and of course the course professor. It is expected that the graduate will have an acceptable amount of basic information on which the fields of physics and astronomy are based, especially degrees of depth in classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, materials physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, and electromagnetism, as well as in energy and light studies, biophysics, in addition to theoretical physics. It is also expected that the graduate will have clear information about many of the applications of these fields in our lives and the main modern research topics in them.

2- Developing cognitive skills: Through your studies, you learn how to think about physical phenomena, understand them, and simulate them, how to address physical issues and problems that you encounter, and how to use appropriate mathematical tools to describe physical phenomena. The student must train on how to plan, implement, and then write reports in laboratory experiments, or while dealing with a physical problem, and how to simplify the problem so that it can be solved. In this context, he must learn how to build information, and how to develop devices to increase the desired accuracy in understanding or studying a physical phenomenon. The student must also train on the derivation and inference processes that he goes through during his studies. The development of intellectual skills in the student comes from reviewing these points during the educational process, whether by the subject professor or through the student's personal efforts, and the student's interest in laboratory study, as well as during times of solving problems and discussing how to treat phenomena during the lecture, or through searching the Internet, as well as using the computer and computer programs to understand and analyze results or follow laboratory details in computer simulation programs, and interest in laboratory experiments and the results they produce and comparing them with the physical theories that he learned; all of these are means that help the student to obtain a high-level cognitive structure, and play an important role in building cognitive awareness in a practical way.

B- Interpersonal skills and Personality

One of the most important goals of the educational process is to develop personal skills and the ability to bear responsibility by following some of the following strategies:
1-    Practice searching the Internet and in the library.
2-    Work on making up for the lectures that you missed by enlisting the help of your study colleagues.
3- Learn how to collect, organize and arrange the scientific material for any course you study in a simplified manner. This is one of the means to increase personal learning ability.

4- Discuss how to overcome learning problems and solve problems.

5- Use laboratory experiments and computers to simulate the practical aspects of the scientific material.

6- Attend general scientific seminars and lectures.

7- Make sure to visit research and industrial institutes and institutions related to the specialization to experience the practical reality in society.

You can facilitate the achievement of these skills by referring to the subject professor for guidance.

C- Communication skills:
Communication skills can be divided into three skills:

1- Your communication with your colleagues through teamwork to solve problems, search the Internet, or study a specific idea or topic
