    B.Sc.in Physics


    The Physics program at Qatar University is the first and the only program in Qatar that grant a degree in physics to serve the society. The BSc in Physics program is structured as common physics core followed by focus area courses in applied physics fields to provide workforce that serves many organizations in Qatar and a well-defined path for direct entry into the job market in these specialized fields.

    Educational Objectives of the Physics Program

    • Provide students with a broad knowledge and understanding of the fundamental concepts of theoretical and experimental physics.
    • Educate and train students to acquire critical thinking and skills of problem solving essential to analyze general physics problems.
    • Educate students to be familiar with research methodologies and ethics, and be able to communicate scientific results of their work in oral and written reports and presentations.
    • Produce graduates to extend their knowledge of the principles of physics to the use in technological applications, and who can work effectively in the different disciplines of physics.
    • Produce graduates who can continue in further graduate studies.

    Student Learning Outcomes

    On successful completion of this program, graduates will:

    • Demonstrate a well-founded knowledge and understanding of the fundamental concepts of physics.
    • Analyze physics related problems to formulate appropriate solutions.
    • Develop logical and critical thinking.
