Physics (Hons) University of Malta

Overview

By studying physics, you will explore the fundamental nature between matter, space and time, and the related concepts of energy and force. The descriptive power of physics ranges from the quantum realm of atoms and particle physics, to relativity and the cosmic evolution of the Universe.

Topics ranging from relativity to quantum mechanics and electrodynamics are connected together in a three-year Physics (Hons) programme in which students are slowly introduced to the challenges in understanding the world around us. At the same time, they are also trained in a number of real-world applications related to technological revolutions currently taking place.

By the end of the Physics (Hons) course at the University of Malta , you will be able to demonstrate your knowledge by carrying out a research-based dissertation. The department encourages you to participate in the Erasmus+ mobility programme for a diverse academic journey.

Career opportunities

• A first degree in Physics will provide you with a wide horizon of possible career paths both nationally as well as abroad. 

• This programme is designed to equip you to be both prepared for a career in physics, such as in research, further study, or teaching, but also for numerous other career paths outside of core physics. 

• This course can lead you to careers in medical physics, space sciences, finance, actuarial science, engineering, manufacturing, iGaming, software engineering, and many more.
