Physics courses Plans.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers its students (and students from other scientific colleges at the university) 54 different courses in various physics specializations at the undergraduate level.
The department teaches 12 courses in physics required by other departments in the College of Science, as well as service courses in physics required by all scientific colleges at the university, including: the College of Food and Agriculture Sciences, the College of Engineering, the College of Computer and Information Sciences, the College of Architecture and Building Sciences, and the unified health sciences program for the colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, and Applied Medical Sciences.
The study plan for the Physics program is designed to include essential cognitive aspects and specialized courses offered from level three to level eight. Specialized courses in various branches of physics (theoretical, nuclear and atomic, laser, renewable energy, materials, mechanics, electromagnetism, thermal, and wave physics) are introduced at these levels, along with practical courses to train students in conducting physical experiments and deriving results from observations. Some of these courses are offered in English at a rate of no less than 40%.
This undergraduate curriculum in the Department of Physics and Astronomy is designed to have a total credit hour count similar to that of other departments in the college, which is 136 credit hours, including the credit hours for the common year.
