Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

Physics is the most fundamental natural science that enables us to understand and mathematically describe the laws of the universe in which we live. Physics deals with the structure of inanimate matter from the largest cosmic scales to the smallest distances that can still be resolved by particle accelerators. It examines the spatial structure, various interactions, and temporal behavior of particles and systems. The program covers theoretical physics, experimental physics, and computational physics. Students learn to analyze and solve complex problems from the ground up, gaining skills that can be applied not only in research and development but in all sectors of the economy and social life. The JGU offers unique research opportunities including a new particle accelerator, quantum computer development, and participation in experiments at CERN.
