 Profiles of The Department

The mission of the educational system in the Physics Department is to provide an excelent education to produce high quality graduates who are capable of applying their knowledge to support National development and the continuing progress of science and technology world wide. The curriculum of the Physics Department comprises both national and local curricula. For both curricula the department has been updating the contents of the lectures all year around whilst still running the syllabi, which are reviewed every 4 years, to accommodate the progresses and advances in each subject. Along with the minimum requirements of being a "Sarjana Fisika", the student can take the elective subjects to fullfill their interests and concerns on the science and technology. The elective subjects are grouped into five mainstreams:

  • Biophysics
  • Geophysics
  • Material Science
  • Measurement and Instrumentation
  • Theoretical/Computational Physics

Those mainstream elective subjects are also representing the research interest of the staffs. To be graduated, the students must complete the compulsary subjects and several elective subjects. In the final year, each student has to carry out a final research project.

 Laboratory

The Department of Physics has five laboratories, in which many experiments are undertaken. They are:

  • Elementary Physics:Basic Physics (to serve the whole university students)
  • Advance Physics: Modern Physics (nuclear and atomic physics), Optics (including laser), Solid state, Waves, Electromagnetics, Mechanics and Thermodynamics
  • Electronic and Instrumentation: Basic Electrical Circuit, Analog and Digital Electronics, Microprocessor, and Physical System Simulation
  • Biophysics: Biophysics.
  • Geophysics: Elementary Geology, Geophysics, Gravity & Earth Magnetic, and Geoelectricity.

The laboratories are well equiped to conduct appropriate experiments as it is required to achieve high quality of education and research. The research activities of the staffs and students are conducted in those laboratories.

 Physical Facilities

The Physics Department main building is a two storey building. To suport all the activities, the department has a total of about 990 m2 of spaces, as follows:

  • Academic rooms (classes and laboratories) : 610,6 m2
  • Administrative rooms : 247,8 m2
  • Staff rooms: 134 m2

In addition, there are some other rooms which are managed by the faculty and the university for lecturing purposes.

 Student

Each year a number of about 45 new students are accepted to enroll to the Physics departement. The total number of enrolled student is about 160 students, from the first year students up to the final year students.

 The Staffs

The Department has some 30 lecturers. They are grouped into five research groups (as stated) which are closely working together.
