Bachelor of Physics
Overview
The Faculty of Science at Al-Baha University was established by Royal Decree No. 9682/M, dated 5/8/1426 H. It began its academic activities in 1427 H with the aim of effectively contributing to expanding the higher education base in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the fields of basic and applied sciences and meeting the needs of the public and private sectors' job market. Currently, the Faculty of Science at Al-Baha University has developed study programs to equip students with scientific and practical skills and knowledge, primarily focusing on the use of modern technology in four main departments: Biology, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. These programs aim to qualify graduates for employment in governmental and private institutions in the provinces.
We are delighted to present to you a comprehensive guide for program members. The purpose of this guide is to provide you with essential regulations, systems, and detailed instructions pertaining to the rights and responsibilities that play a vital role in realizing the vision, mission, and objectives of the bachelor's degree in physics program.
We are glad that you are part of our program of physics. If you have an ever-growing thirst for knowledge about the fundamental dynamics of the universe around you and the covert physical world, then this program is what you are looking for.
The program outlines and subjects are aimed at letting the students acquire sufficient knowledge of physics concepts, laws, theories, and experimental techniques. The courses are designed for students to explore important topics, for instance, quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, and solid-state physics. It is underpinned by professionals who are experts in their fields.
Based on the Saudi classification of occupations, a graduate of the physics program has various choices like being a teacher, physicist, nuclear physics Specialist, etc., and can even do a postgraduate study.
