Department of Physics

The Department of Physics was established in 1949 along with the establishment of the Higher Teachers’ House. And over the course of sixty-seven years, the Department of Physics was the bestowed inexhaustible source of knowledge in spreading science and solving many scientific and educational problems. Many generations graduated from the Department of Physics and held several positions in the field of education, official state departments, and in the fields of energy and scientific research.

Over the past decades, the Department of Physics has developed in many respects, as the postgraduate studies for master’s degrees were first considered in the department in 1986 followed by the doctoral studies that opened in 1993 till now. In the Department of Physics, many qualified and experts teachers in this field were supervised the educational and scientific process and most of those supervisors are of doctoral and master’s degrees along with scientific titles include professor, assistant professor, teacher, and a number of bachelor’s holders who work in laboratories as technicians. The laboratories in the department of physics are nine for undergraduate studies and five for postgraduate studies.

The vision of the Department of Physics is to be able to keep up with the latest scientific methodologies in the field of science and technology and provide the community with graduates who are able to teach and qualify them to advance and improve the educational process by using new technologies in laboratories and scientific research, as well as providing the community with qualified workers in different sectors.

The main objective of the department’s management is to provide the community with capacities and staff  working in various educational and educational fields, in addition to the industrial and scientific research sectors, through

1. physics teachers graduated with high-level qualifications who are able to teach the scientific material at the required level.
2. Developing students and providing them with modern technologies in the field of scientific research.
3. Building leadership qualities in the graduates by training them to work as one team.
4. Supporting and providing a good work environment for students and college members..
5. Caring for, supporting and encouraging the high –ranking students.

The main goal of the educational program is to develop the faculty members, and improve their performance to produce qualified graduates who are able to obtain a job opportunity, whether in education or in other fields of society. Therefore, the goals and objectives can be summarized as follows:

1- Providing the community with teaching staff.

2- Keeping abreast of global developments in specialized fields.

3- To communicate with the community and provide the required services.

4- Directing the education to serve the development of society.

5- To maintain the ethics of the teaching profession.
