Introduction
The 4-year Bachelor of Science in Physics covers the major aspects of classical, modem and applied physics. (Back to Top)

Foundation Year
The Foundation Year is the basic program for all University students, covering general knowledge and some relevant method for academic research.

Classical physics, otherwise known as Newtonian physics, explains natural phenomena above the scale of the atom. Classical physics covers mechanics, electricity and magnetism, heat and light and is taught in years 1 and 2.

Modem physics covers atomic and nuclear physics, quantum mechanics and wave theory and is covered in great detail from year 3. In year 4, students are taught statistical physics, solid state physics and group theory. The advanced mathematics and statistics required to study these subjects is also taught by the Department of Physics.

The study of applied physics (engineering) is also included in the physics degree. Its focus is on electronics and communication, as these are important areas for the growing Information Technology (IT) sector in Cambodia.

Graduates in physics gain employment as teachers and in IT and related sectors. (Back to Top)

Admission
All applicants must have a High School Certificate and pass a National University Entrance Examination on General Culture and Physics. Each year approximately 40 students are chosen for the English stream and 15 students for the French stream. (Back to Top)

Assessment
At present students are assessed on their understanding of theoretical know ledge and practical experience through end of semester examinations. In the future, grades may combine class assessment as well, including attendance, participation, and laboratory work.

Students understand the limitations Hooft proved the renormalizability of Yang-Mills theories, there has been a consequent dramatic increase in both the methods and the applications of Quantum Field Theory. It Fill this gap by introducing in a straightforward, calculatingly manner some of the tools used by the modern Field Theorist. It is no longer possible to present perturbative Field Theory pedagogically in one year-the days of the standard one-year course based on QED are gone forever. A modern presentation must consist of at least three parts-a first course emphasizing the structure and methods of perturbative Field Theories, with the intent of acquainting the student with renormalization theory and the evaluation of Feynman diagrams for gauge theories,-a second course dealing with applications of gauge theories, centering around perturbative calculations in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), Flavor Dynamics (Glashow-Weinberg-Salam model), and possibly Grand Unified Theories, and finally a third course on non-perturbative techniques. The approach is calculatingly-no proof of renormalizability is given, only plausibility arguments and treated in great detail for theory, but only lightly for gauge theories. The passage from Classical to Quantum Field Theory is described in terms of the Feynman Path Integral, which is appropriate to both perturbative and non-perturbative treatments. (Back to Top)
