Physics of Universe Zewail City of Science and Technology

Overview

About Physics of Universe at Zewail City of Science and Technology

During the first two years, all students will take foundation courses in Basic Science and Mathematics, with an emphasis on Physics. They are also exposed to the three concentration options available for advanced study: Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Astrophysics, and High Energy Physics. During the final two years, students pursue advanced study within their chosen area of concentration, together with advanced training in Physics. Each concentration includes specialized instruction from Zewail City research centre experts in Theoretical Physics and Environmental and Space Sciences. The advanced Mathematical and Computational skills of PEU graduates can be readily transferred to many applications in business and industry, as well as academic and government research.

Within a few years of graduation, physics of earth and universe alumni will have:

• Gained employment in the field of astrophysics, climate changes, weather forecasting, remote sensing, education or high energy physics;

• Created value by analyzing and designing sustainable solutions to problems involving pollution and atmosphere monitoring;

• Successfully engaged in advanced studies in high energy physics theory and lab, working with groups around the world especially the Large Hadron Collider experiment;

• Actively participated in research development in astrophysics, in theoretical and observational fronts; and

• Facilitated collaboration and built strong professional relationships by working successfully in multidisciplinary teams and effectively communicating with a diverse group of stakeholders.
