4 Bachelor's degrees in Physics in Jamaica
Physics with Education
The B.S. in Physics with Education at The University of the West Indies is developed around existing courses from the Department of Physics, and the School of Education. Physics is studied in depth to bring participants' expertise up to degree level, while also learning how to teach physics to a standard that leads to trained graduate status.
General Physics
The B.S. in General Physics at The University of the West Indies contains all the theory of the other majors and provides students with the foundations of Physics. Students with this major will be expected to learn a little about each major in the Department, as well as, some other more theoretical subjects, like Astronomy and Cosmology.
Energy and Environmental Physics
The B.S. in Energy and Environmental Physics at The University of the West Indies will provide a student with knowledge of "the physical laws governing the environment". This includes observations of the interactions among the environmental variables (atmospheric and fluid), and practical use of this information particularly as it relates to alternative energy sources.
Medical Physics
The B.S. in Medical Physics at The University of the West Indies will have a student learning all about the application of Physics in Medicine. The student will become proficient in the Physics of the human body and techniques used for therapy and imaging. It also involves the familiarization with several machines used in healthcare.
