Applied Physics trains students to become researchers, engineers, and innovators. Applied Physics ensures that every student acquires a wealth of theoretical knowledge and practical skills to be able to work as a physicist. As an Applied Physicist, you are the bridge between academics and engineers. In short: Applied Physics trains you for various disciplines with enormous possibilities, for which you are rewarded with a Bachelor of Science.
During the first year, you will be introduced to many disciplines of physics: Mechanics, Theory of Heat, Optics, Electronics, but you will also get your first forays into more modern physics such as Atomic & Nuclear Physics. Physics is derived from mathematics. This means that a lot of mathematics is needed to be able to describe physics. Within the program, this ratio is approximately 40% mathematics and 60% physics. The program also focuses on practical skills, which are obtained by carrying out many practical exercises and projects. Theory lessons and practical assignments are continued in the second year and partly in the third year. This form of education ensures that you are broadly educated and can work in many different companies and/or research groups and fields of physics.
