Second Major In Physics

The Department of Physics offers a Second Major in Physics which comprises of modules related to the fundamentals of physics as well as its applications. It is open to students with an A-level pass in Physics, who are interested in widening their intellectual horizons or would like to better prepare themselves for future careers.

The second major is not offered with a primary major in Physics or 'Physics and Life Sciences' and minor in Optical and Semiconductor Technology or Physics.

To be awarded a Second Major in  Physics, candidates must satisfy the following:
