Master of Physics / Department of Physics Master of Physics / Department of Physics Program overview The department of physics is one of seven departments forming the college of science. The department is located in the main campus of Al-Quds University in Abu-Dies. This program is a complement to the Bachelor's program, where students are prepared in physics with a focus on the practical aspect and highlights the importance of this subject. The department offers M.Sc. (Master of Science) in physics since 1998 and the regular enrollment is about 20 graduate students. The department has active research programs in biophysics, radiation physics, laser physics, and space plasma physics. Our programs are supported by 8 faculty members from various ranks. Admission Requirements for Master's Degree All applicants must pass an acceptance test or a personal interview or both. The student must have a bachelor's degree in the fields of study directly related to the field of study with at least a good rate. Students can also be accepted without a good rate to obtain a higher diploma in this program and when they get an average of 80% and above in the courses can transfer and get a master's degree. Program Vision The graduate degree in Physics is innovative in nature, designed to produce qualified graduates who would be able to compete worldwide. The main objective of this graduate program is to train the students to continue their graduate studies or work at local universities or colleges. In addition to the preparation for active involvement in independent research. Program Mission The graduate degree program in physics offered by the College of Science & Technology at Al-Quds University will prepare students to active involvement in research. Most faculty members of the department are active in supporting the graduate program.. The market is in bad need for experienced personnel with suitable scientific and technical background. This program promotes creativity, research, and development. The program will be a platform and a focal point for experience exchange, knowledge dissemination and technology transfer between universities, and related ministries as well as local and international organizations working in related fields. Program philosophy The philosophy of the program is to provide a Master program in physics in tune with Al-Quds university policy of higher studies. The goal of the program is to qualify graduates in subspecialties/tracks that fulfill the needs for the society . The program will impact and contribute to the advancement and development of the field of supporting, encouraging, and facilitating students’ scientific research projects. Program Objective 1. Graduates will be able to employ appropriate experimental methods to solve problems in various sectors. 2. Graduates will be critical thinkers, having the ability to reflect upon scientific knowledge and continue to broaden their knowledge with new discoveries and findings. 3. Graduates will be able to communicate and apply underlying principles and values related to the various sectors. 4. Graduates will be totally ready to pursue their studies towards their PhD degree in a variety of related fields. Learning outcomes 1. work independently to hold positions of full responsibility in the implementation of research projects and structures. 2. Know, understand and undertake professional careers in the area of applied physics, by independently managing diversified activities, such as the characterization of new techniques. 3. Apply new technologies, and the activities related to the development and pilot phase in view of the theoretical and experimental techniques. 4. Involve in the creative process and in the managerial and operational phases of research in physics either in public or private laboratories, research centers, research and development organizations. 5. Participate in the theoretical and practical development of new physical technology and to meet requirements of research and development, quality control within specific legal frameworks and public institutions. 6. Communicate independently and fluently with partners. After graduation The student will be able to work in any experimental or theoretical physics field and also able to continue his study for PhD in any branch of physics Graduation requirements In order for students to graduate from the program, they must fulfill the following conditions: 1. Successfully pass a total of 36 credit hours is required for graduation. Among those are 6 credits for the thesis track, with a grade point average equal to or more than 75% as indicated by the graduate studies’ regulations of the university. 2.

  • UNIVERSITY of ZAGREB FACULTY of SCIENCE DEPARTMENT of PHYSICS Bijeni Čka Cesta 32, Zagreb
    UNIVERSITY OF ZAGREB FACULTY OF SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS Bijeni čka cesta 32, Zagreb PROPOSAL University study bachelor and master of physics Zagreb, January/February 2005. University study bachelor and master of physics According to Instructions of Croatian Rectors Conference, January 14, 2004 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. The students who complete their university study and obtain the degree Master of physics can find positions with medical institutions, nuclear power stations, metallurgy and shipbuilding industry, as well as with financial institutions (banks, insurance companies), with geophysical institutions, governmental offices etc. The students who obtain the degree Master of physics are competent to be assistants with all faculties, in which physics is included in the study programmes. They can also join the scientific institutions in Croatia as research assistants. The (best) students who are graduated in research physics and obtain the degree Master of physics are competent to continue their postgraduate study, ending with the PhD degree in physics, in Croatia and abroad. 1.2. Physics is fundamental natural science and is the basis for understanding and explanation of natural phenomena and processes which take place in our environment, as well as at most distant points of the Universe. Therefore, all universities, scientific and research institutions all round the world, as well as industrial enterprises have physicists as their employees. The beginning of higher education of (college-level) physics in Zagreb dates back to the 17th century. Within the frames of the Faculty of Arts, the programme of physics was introduced in 1874. The Faculty of Science was founded in 1946, consisting of some departments which were separated from the Faculty of Arts.
