PHYSICS (MAJOR AND MINOR SPECIALIZATIONS)

Study language: Georgian

Amount of allocated ECTS: 240 ECTS

Awarded qualification/degree:  Bachelor of Physics

Admission Type: Individual Admission

About the program:

The undergraduate program in Physics at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Medicine was renewed in 2020 to improve the learning process.

Within the program, the student will study the basics of classical mechanics, electromagnetism, atomic and nuclear physics, and astronomy. Students will be able to understand the most commonly used analytical and numerical methods, study the basic experimental methods of mathematics, computing, modeling, and physics essential for career development in the field.

Aim of the program:

The program aims to equip the graduate with extensive knowledge of the basic principles of physics, laws, and basic mathematical aspects of natural sciences and to develop basic research skills in one of the fields of physics (fundamental physics, astronomy, atmospheric and near cosmic physics, biophysics, applied physics).

The program is aimed at developing oral and written communication, critical analysis, argumentation, individual and teamwork skills in Georgian and English.

Main areas of study:

A physics student has the opportunity to learn from one of the following five components:

• Fundamental Physics
• Astronomy
• Physics of the atmosphere and near space
• Biophysics
• Applied Physics

Learning outcomes:

Graduate will:

• Know the basic principles and laws of physics (including classical mechanics, electromagnetism, statistical dynamics and thermodynamics, wave phenomena and material properties, quantum, atomic, and atomic nucleus physics);
