Program Overview

AUC’s physics program provides students with thorough and flexible training in the fundamental aspects of classical and modern physics. It devotes equal attention to three academic areas: teaching, research, and service to the community. The program produces high-caliber physicists committed to helping their country and capable of introducing creative solutions to current and future real-life problems.

This program is suitable for students who are interested in the following: 

  • Understanding the universe in a fundamental way 
  • The theory of relativity
  • Quantum mechanics
  • Particle physics

Many opportunities are available for students to gain hands-on experience, including internships in the solar industry and other areas of physics in prestigious research institutes in Egypt and abroad.

Graduates of the program have gone on to pursue careers in the following fields:

  • Solar energy 
  • Oil and gas
  • Nanotechnology
  • Semiconductor physics and electronics
  • Light and optics
  • Virtual reality and augmented reality 
  • Fiber optics

 

Department chair and professor, Mohamed Swillam, gives a short brief about AUC’s physics undergraduate program

Provides students with basic and applied knowledge in solar energy, which is currently of prime importance towards more utilization of green energy

Through an extra semester for ECNG students and in collaboration with ECNG department, the double-qualified students are provided with cutting-edge knowledge as they understand the application and the theory behind it, which makes them very attractive in the job market.

Through an extra semester for MENG students and in collaboration with MENG department, the double-qualified students are provided with cutting-edge knowledge as they understand the application and the theory behind it, which makes them very attractive in the job market.
