Faculty of Science and Technology

Bachelor of Science with Honours (Physics)

PROGRAMME SUMMARY

Physics is a field of science that studies the properties, motion, behaviour, force and energy of matter. Physics uncovers the hidden laws that govern and explain the orderliness of the universe, ranging from the behaviour of particles to the life cycle of stars scattered in our night sky. By studying physics, students will be able to understand and apply the knowledge of physics in a scientific and professional manner in line with the demand of development in contemporary time. The Physics Programme evolved from the former Physics Department, when the faculty was then called the Faculty of Science (FS). The Physics Department was one of the earliest departments established, together with the establishment of UKM, back in Mei 1970. In 1983, the department was placed under the Faculty of Applied Physics (FSFG). In the year 1999, FSFG, together with three other faculties merged to form a single faculty, namely the Faculty of Science and Technology. Accordingly, the Physics Department became the Physics Programme. As physics undergraduates, students will have the opportunity to take courses in condensed matter physics and nanophysics, astronomy and astrophysics, theoretical and energy physics. Apart from that, students will conduct final year projects under the supervision of renowned scholars and experts in the university. Our physics undergraduates have enrolled in industrial placement programs at several national agencies such as SIRIM, the National Planetarium, the National Science Center, the Langkawi National Observatory, as well as international agencies such as CERN, Switzerland. Students will also gain the privilege of learning and exploring advanced physics topics bilingually in both Malay and English languages. The ability to generate and express complex scientific ideas in the national language as well as the international language not only enhances your mastery over the subject, but it also increases your value in the eyes of prospective employers.
