STUDY PLANS 
    Physics is the corner stone of modern industry; therefore, it could be considered the basis for the other scientific disciplines. The Department of physics provides an interesting and stimulating environment for study Research has a strong foundation within the Department.
The Department has a team of dedicated instructors, who have created a friendly, supportive atmosphere which enable the students to reach their full potential.
The Department of physics, since its establishment in 1990, has sought to provide quality programs in physics education and proper training at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Today, the Department offers an undergraduate program leading to Bachelor degree in Science and a graduate program leading to Masters degree in Science. It also supports community service programs.
Programs:
The undergraduate program in Physics is designed to lay the groundwork for a fundamental understanding to explain natural Phenomena encountered on the smallest and largest scales. In this program, the students are exposed to the general approach of how physics look at nature, draw generalizations, and bring about the interplay between observation, insight, models, and theories.
Since the undergraduate program focuses on the fundamental understanding of the laws of physics and natural phenomena, it forms a good basic knowledge for a spectrum of careers such as physics , astronomy , engineering, biophysics, and medical physics.At the freshman level (1 st year) in addition to a core of liberal arts courses and university requirement, the students are exposed to Newtonian mechanics that cover the conservation laws of energy, momentum, and angular momentum. The classical theory of electricity and magnetism is also addressed at the freshman level. During the first term of the second years, the students are introduced to vibrations and waves, optics, and thermodynamics. In the second term , the gap between classical physics and quantum physics is bridged through modern physics course. Quantum physics is further pursued in the junior year by developing quantum mechanics formalism such as state space, representations, matrix mechanics, and the theory of angular momentum and spin.
In addition to the above mentioned topics, the undergraduate program offers some specialized courses such as solid state physics, nuclear physics, statistical mechanics, and electromagnetic theory .Furthermore, the program includes experimental physics courses such as: Experimental physics laboratory 1 &11, Optics laboratory.
The graduate program in Physics is divided into two tracks:
(1) Comprehensive exam track where the student sits for a comprehensive exams covering all physics courses studied.
(2) Thesis track The student in this track conducts research project under the supervision of one ( or more ) faculty member after which he writes a thesis to be defended in front of a defense committee appointed by the graduate school . Besides, a sum of 24 credit hours physics courses must the student finish
Research Interests:
The Department of Physics has an ongoing research in both theoretical and experimental physics. On the theoretical side. Research include Mathematical physics and Astrophysics. Research activities in experimental physics include the study of polymers, magnetism. , molecular spectroscopy and electrical ,optical properties of thin films, surface physics.
Laboratories have been established to accommodate the experimental interests of the Department with additional research laboratories to be established in the near future. In the research laboratories we have the flowing instruments: Scanning electron, microscope, Transmission electron microscope., Differential scanning calorimeter, U.V. spectrophotometer, FT/IR Spectrophotometer, Vibrating sample ,magnetometer, Thermal evaporation ,Auto scan 60, RF Sputtering .
Community Service:
The physics Department provides many community service to the Southern Region Society. In addition to the preparation and training of physics graduates, the Department fulfils some specific needs in the job market
