Why Study Physics?
As physicists learn the very basics of science, they are valued for their flexibility. This means that they can find employment in a variety of areas . Physics can be regarded as the Fundamental Science that intimately lays the background to all aspects of our life. The development of new technologies and products is made possible if its physics background has been studied and experimentally proven to be with scrutiny applicable. Now a days , all industries must have relied on the study of physics of its material characteristics, models , testing and measurements along with all stages of processing .
At AUC, a graduate from Physics acquires good theoretical and experimental skills as well as creative problem solving capabilities. AUC Physics graduates have always shown a broad spectrum of successful career opportunities in research, education, industry, serious and high technical caliber jobs.
Physics Department mission statement..
The excitement of discovery can be experienced when we learn the value of Physics in solving practical problems and in gaining insight into everyday phenomena, and its significance as an achievement of the human intellect in its quest for understanding the world we all live in.
Physics has always attracted special students, challenged by modern theories that shaped and are still shaping our understanding of the universe like the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, superconductivity and particle physics; just to name a few. A degree in Physics leaves one poised to enter many professions that include but are not limited to traditional physics. The discipline of Physics teaches skills that are transferable to many other professions, including electronics, computer and oil industries. These transferable skills include: mathematical modeling, problem solving, designing experiments, interpretation of experimental data, reflecting on answers before trusting them, research experience, laboratory techniques and communication skills.
