Aims of this Program
This MSc in Physics will focus on scientific computing, and advanced materials physics and technology. We aim to upgrade and strengthen students’ knowledge in core areas of physics; and with various elective courses students can choose to specialize in a particular physics area. Students will gain knowledge of advanced materials for applications in next generation devices, and/or hands-on experience of learning various simulation and programming tools to solve physics and real-world problems. The overall aim is to enhance one’s fundamental knowledge in physics, promote critical thinking, problem solving and presentation skills. These important transferable skills are much ought-after by industry and commerce. The program may also be used as a stepping-stone towards a research postgraduate degree.
Who is this program for?
