The aim of this three-year programme is to produce graduates who will have a good foundation of physics, applied physics, and equipped with special skills in semiconductor technology together with the choice of enhancing their knowledge in the fields of electronics, communication engineering, data communication, or instrumentation. The programme’s curriculum is designed to enable graduates to begin their careers in industries by equipping them with knowledge and scientific skills and techniques related to the industries. Graduates will be equipped with skills such as semiconductor process, fabrication and design, instrumentation, measuring and testing techniques (thermal, mechanical, electric, optic, surface and bulk), computational and also basic electronic, data or communication engineering together with other modern technology such as optoelectronics. Students of this programme will also undergo industrial training and complete a final year project (to strengthen the knowledge and skills obtained from lectures and practicals).
SPM+STPM+MUET or its equiv.
There are a wide range of career opportunities for graduates of Bachelors of Science (Hons.) Industrial Physics. Graduates are suited to work in semiconductor related industries to manage, design and develop new technologies for electronic devices and components or to work in other industries to develop software, optimise industrial processes, develop instrumentation, test new materials and characterisation for special applications. Graduates can also be employed in industries as process, maintenance, or product engineers, fabrication of semiconductor engineers, semiconductor researchers, quality executives, technical officers, R&D officers, telecommunication engineers, technical engineers, quality assurance officers, product experts, laboratory managers, and systems application engineers. Graduates can also be employed in the non-technical areas as managers, lecturers, enforcement officers, relations officers and marketing officers.
Opportunities for Further Studies
Graduates of this programme can pursue their studies in the same or related fields at both local and foreign universities.
