Ph.D. in Applied Physics is a research-intensive program that teaches the practical application of physics principles to real-world problems in a variety of sectors and scientific disciplines. The program typically lasts three to five years and covers advanced topics like material science, optics, nanotechnology, condensed matter physics, computational physics, quantum mechanics, and energy systems. Students do original research to create new technologies, improve existing systems, and use theoretical physics to solve real problems in fields such as electronics, telecommunications, healthcare, and energy. The program covers advanced physics topics, research technique, and culminates in a dissertation. Graduates frequently pursue positions in academia, research organizations, technological development, or industry including electronics, aerospace, and energy.
