Apply yourself in one of the oldest sciences: physics. Gain fundamental insights into your own research field while honing your research skills.

A great deal of the work done by physicists is not immediately visible. But without recent breakthroughs in physics, the cellular phone and the laptop would have been power-guzzling machines that weigh a ton and lab-on-a-chip technology would still be science-fiction. These are only two examples of the enormous number of research fields where applied physicists work. Do you also want to be involved in high-profile developments? Are you interested in physical phenomena, scientific principles and their applications? Then Applied Physics (APH) is the programme for you.

APH is rooted in the fundamental truths and basic laws that describe the world around us. You will focus on using scientific principles in practical devices and systems, and on the application of physics in other fields.

APH will expand your knowledge of physics, providing deeper insights into the specific field of research you choose to focus on. You will have the opportunity to tailor your programme to suit your individual interests. The Physics faculty at the UT is one of the best in the world: you will benefit from cutting edge high-tech lab facilities while enjoying the human touch of a small-scale programme.
