Year descriptionFirst year The first semester is spent in the Preparatory semester program which is shared by all disciplines in the College. During this semseter the students will learn the basics of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. During the second semester the students will begin to study their chosen specialization where they take courses on subjects such as: general physics as well as general education courses. Second year In this year, the student will study topics such as: general physics, waves, modern physics as well as mathematics. Third year During the third year, the focus will include: thermodynamics, electronics and theoretical courses. Fourth year In the fourth and final year of the Physics program, the students’ understanding will deepen and they will focus on topics such as: nuclear physics, solid state physics, computational physics and biophysics. The students will be required to conduct a research project and presentation.
