The general objectives of BSc.

 ü  To provide a broad knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of Physics and the ability to apply that knowledge and understanding to solve physical problems;

 ü  To enable students express their ideas clearly and cogently in both written and verbal form;

 ü  To insure high quality education in Physics within a stimulating and supportive environment committed to excellence in Physics (theoretical, experimental, computational, research and community services);

 ü  To educate students the core of Physics areas at the necessary depth, while they are encouraged to be critically receptive to new ideas and to attain their full academic potential;

 ü  To equip students with a sound base of knowledge and understanding in Physics;

 ü  To expose students to the applications of physical principles in various branches of Physics;

 ü  To support students develop the ability to carry out experimental or/and other investigations, analyze their results critically, draw valid conclusions, and communicate their findings both verbally and in writing;

 ü   To lay the foundations and transferable skills essential for further training and for the development of skills and knowledge;

 ü  To render public consultations in areas closely related to Physics;

 ü  To create an environment that gives students opportunities to develop personal confidence, self-reliance and career aspirations.

 ü  To train students with a basic courses in Physics that will enable them to be academically and professionally qualified to solve physical problems;

 ü  To develop the students ability to work independently and in groups or cooperatively;

 ü  To equip students with necessary confidence, understanding and skills that he/she needs to take up his/her civic responsibilities;

 ü   To enhance the capability of the students to work as professional physicists in industries, research and other institutions/organizations;
