\n\t\t\t\tDEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Physics is the discipline which deals with matter and its relation to energy. It involves the study of physical and natural phenomena around us. Physics is the study of the entire universe. From studying stars far beyond earth, to explaining the shape of a water droplet. Physics degrees offer students the chance to explore and understand the fundamental building blocks of the universe in all its enormity and complexity, with a good range of career options after university.<\/p>\n

Physics and applied Physics has applications in various disciplines including medical disciplines such as Medical Physics, Radiology as well as Engineering disciplines such as Aerospace Engineering, Automobile Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, and others.<\/p>\n

Physics is the bedrock of engineering discipline and one of the pioneer undergraduate programmes introduced by AFIT in 2019. The Department was established under the Faculty of Science. On successful completion of the programme and fulfillment of other University requirements, a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physics (B.Sc.) is awarded. The programme is enriched with topics such as Mechanics, Geometrical Optics, Electricity and Magnetism, Thermodynamics, Atomic Physics, Quantum Mechanics, and Waves.<\/p>\n

VISION OF THE DEPARTMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Department of Physics at the Air Force Institute of Technology shall be known nationally and internationally as a centre of excellence in training and producing quality Physics graduates that can discover, disseminate, and apply the knowledge of Physics for human well-being and the development of the society and be renowned for its quality teaching, research, professional and community services.<\/p>\n

MISSION OF THE DEPARTMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

The department shall:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. provide high quality education to local and international students with high intellectual standing in both theoretical and experimental physics with emphasis on \u2018problem-solving learning approach\u2019;<\/li>\n
  2. provide solid background for students with career objectives in Pure Physics and Applied Physics;<\/li>\n
  3. provide well trained Physicist\/Scientist that would apply their knowledge to solve local, national and international problems;<\/li>\n
  4. inculcate sound scientific discipline to students such as independent work, resourcefulness, team work in scientific activities and honesty;<\/li>\n
  5. engage in cutting edge research and development in support of needs in aerospace industries and in consonance with current trends in research and industry that are having both direct and indirect relevance to the needs of Nigeria and the world in general;<\/li>\n
  6. provide a strong foundation for the pursuit of higher degree (M.Sc., M.Phil., and Ph.D);<\/li>\n
  7. expand the department\u2019s programmes to include postgraduate programmes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n\t\t\t

    In order to be eligible for admission into the undergraduate (B.Sc. degree) programme, a candidate, in addition to satisfying the University general entry requirements, must obtain at least credit passes in each of English, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as well as any other science subjects at the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examinations or its equivalent. The current minimum requirements for admission into 100 level (UTME entry) and 200 level (Direct entry) of the Department of Physics are given below:<\/p>\n

    \u00a0Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) Mode<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Applicants seeking entry through UTME must have attained the age of sixteen years on the first day of October in the year of their candidature possess the Senior School Certificate of Education (SSCE) or the General Certificate of Education, Ordinary Level GCE with passes at credit level in at least five subjects obtained at not more than two sittings. The five subjects should include English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and any other relevant science subject. UTME subjects are: English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics.<\/p>\n

    Direct Entry Mode<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Applicants seeking Direct Entry into 200 level should have:<\/p>\n

    Five SSCE or GCE O’ level credit passes in English, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and any other science subject. GCE \u2018A’ level or IJMB passes or equivalent \u201cA\u201d level pass in Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics. Candidates with Higher National Diploma (HND) may also be admitted into the 200 level with upper or lower credit or 300 level with distinction as special admission. Ordinary National Diploma (OND) candidates possessing overall upper credit pass in Physics or related disciplines may be considered for admission into 200 level.<\/p>\n

    Transfer Mode <\/strong><\/p>\n

    The University may admit on transfer a student undergoing an undergraduate degree program in related disciplines in the Faculty of Science or Engineering departments of AFIT or another recognized University provided such a student meets the minimum admission requirements of this University and is seeking transfer into the program similar to the one he\/she is in the present university without any pending issues\/case against such candidate. Students seeking transfer into the department must possess a minimum CGPA of 3.5. Transfer application shall be made on the<\/p>\n

    approved application form obtainable from the Registrar\u2019s Office and payment of the stipulated fee approved by the Senate.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n[\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Course Requirements” tab_id=”1646744516816-3859d3bc-bf62″]\t\n\t\t\t\t
