Physics Bilkent University

Overview

The Physics programme from  Bilkent University  is structured with the assumption that the all of the students will continue his or her education towards an M.S. and a Ph.D. degree in Physics. The Department therefore admits a small number of talented and highly qualified students every year. 

The program enables the student to attain a solid background in all areas of physics. A number of elective courses are offered for students whose interests developed in various areas of physics.

Key facts 

The Department pursues a state-of-the-art research program. Research areas include the study of condensed matter physics, optoelectronic devices, nanoscience, lasers and photonics, statistical physics, material science, semiconductor physics, computational physics, ultrafast photonics, surface physics, mesoscopic physics, quantum optics, ultracold atomic physics.
