Bsc in applied physics in City university of hong kong

We equip our students with knowledge and critical thinking skills that will enable them to tackle difficult problems throughout their careers. The curriculum teaches not only foundational courses in physics, but also technology-driven courses such as computer modelling and advanced instrumentation. The Applied Physics major allows students to specialise in the disciplines of Biomedical Physics, Materials Technology, Nuclear and Environmental Physics and Photonics. Our graduates are well prepared for employment not only in commercial, government, education, medical and healthcare and industrial sectors, but also in engineering companies and nuclear facilities. The major prepares students for further studies in biomedical physics, materials engineering, photonics, nuclear science and technology.

Award of an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma with a minimum diploma point score of 30 (out of 45) is required. Grade E or above in three GCE A-level (or A2) / International A-level subjects. TOEFL Minimum total score 550 on the paper-based test / 79 on the Internet-based test and IELTS Overall band score of 6.5 or above.

Applied Physics graduates enjoy a diverse range of challenging careers from medical physicists, environmental consultants, materials scientists, biomedical engineers and nuclear technologists, to professionals in photonic equipment and components, electronic components, semiconductors and computer peripherals. Graduates are also eligible to develop their careers in government departments such as the Hong Kong Observatory, the Environmental Protection Department, the Hospital Authority and the Trade and Industry Department.
