Physics [Science (JS 4601), declare Physics as major programme after admission]

Provide students with a solid grasp of fundamental concepts, analytic, numerical, computational, and research skills, as well as basic experimental skills
A balanced mix of lectures, tutorials, problem-solving sessions, seminars, group discussions, projects and undergraduate research opportunities delivers knowledge and skill set for further studies and employment skills
Compulsory courses provide an all-round foundation, supplemented by a pool of elective courses
Depending on the students' interests and career plans, students may use the elective courses to focus on the following Streams: (i) Astrophysics and Particle Physics, (ii) Computational and Data Physics, and (iii) Quantum Science and Technology
A number of special academic and extracurricular experiential learning programmes including mentorships, summer research projects and internships, research exchanges, study tours, and other internships

Enrichment Stream in Theoretical Physics (JS 4690)

Designed for students who have a good foundation in secondary school physics and mathematics
The core part of the curriculum, while overlapping much with that of the physics major programme, has additional emphasis on early small-group discussion classes with an academic advisor and on research component
Better opportunities to engage in research at an earlier stage and build up research capabilities gradually
Help students explore their research potential and bridge the gap from undergraduate physics to postgraduate studies at the master's or doctoral level
Depending on the students' interests and career plans, students may opt for an additional Stream by completing stream-specific electives from: (i) Astrophysics and Particle Physics, (ii) Computational and Data Physics, or (iii) Quantum Science and Technology
A number of special academic and extracurricular experiential learning programmes including mentorships, summer research projects and internships, research exchanges, study tours, and other internships
