Physics

Curriculum Objectives

  • To develop interest in the physical world and arouse curiosity about nature.
  • To train students to construct and apply knowledge of physics to the physical science and other disciplines.
  • To pursue a high standard of the language of science and effective communication on physics related issues.
  • To gain physics related learning experiences for developing scientific literacy.
  • To solve problems individually or collaboratively in physics related contexts.
  • To participate actively in the rapidly changing knowledge-based world.
  • To prepare fully for the tertiary education.
