The aim of undergraduate curriculum in Physics at Eskişehir Osmangazi University (ESOGÜ) is to establish strong fundamental deep knowledge, practices and applicaitons of physics to students; to create motivation for students to advance through higher levels of science and to train dynamic-minded physicists who can keep up with the developing scientific and technological developments and have advanced problem solving skills.
ESOGÜ Physics Undergraduate Program with its strong academic staff, national and international collaborations, innovative projects and the most modern experimental setups, is among the notable undergraduate programs of physics in Turkey since 1982 and wiill continue to be so. Studies are carried out in different science fields under the ESOGU Physics Undergraduate Program with this infrastructure and knowledge. These includes solid state physics, high energy and plasma physics, atomic and molecular physics, general physics and nuclear physics.
Our students can attend one year preparatory school of English Language, if they request. Students who complete 240 ECTS credits by taking elective, compulsory and laboratory courses during their education can graduate.Our students, whose grade point averages (GPAs) are sufficient, may also have second diplomas and certificates by applying to "Double Major" and "Minor" programs in different departments of our university.
Our graduates who completed the four-year undergraduate program in physics and earn the title of "Physicist";
- Can teach in secondary education facilities by taking formation training,
- Can join graduate programmes where they can be academics who will study other fundamental and applied sciences,
- Can complete the necessary trainings and work as a "Health Physicist" in the fields of nuclear medicine, diagnosis and treatment;
- Can work in the energy industry, such as nuclear and renewable energy, which has of increasing importance for our country,
- Can work in various fields of industry, research and development laboratories,
- Can work at Turkish Atomic Energy Authority, the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, General Directorate of the Mineral Research & Exploration, Mechanical and Chemical Industry Corporation, State Hydraulic Works and many public and private sector organizations as researcher or expert,
- Can work in the field of occupational safety and health with the certificate they will receive from the Occupational Safety and Health Certificate programs,
- Can be employed as experts and/or technical staff in various branches of the industry to contribute to the our country's trained quality control staff needs.
Along with the fields mentioned above, they will have different interdisciplinary opportunities in new employment areas (such as nanotechnology, information technologies, energy and medical physics) that are emerging in parallel with the developments in science and technology today.
