Degree Programmes

BSc in Physics / Applied Physics

Students in the Physics programme learn a broad range of topics from electromagnetism to quantum mechanics, with theoretical, experimental, and computational coursework. Students in the Applied Physics programme take fundamental courses in physics, and continue into applied topics such as spintronics, nanotechnology, and laser physics.

BSc in Physics / Applied Physics with Second Major in Data Analytics

This Second Major programme equips Physics and Applied Physics majors with foundational and practical skills in data analytics, a discipline that is increasingly pervasive in science, technology, and business. The data analytics courses for the Second Major are offered by a wide range of Schools in NTU's College of Science and College of Engineering.

BSc in Applied Physics with Second Major in Entrepreneurship

The Second Major in Entrepreneurship programme equips students with fundamental entrepreneurship competency and broadens their understanding of enterprise and innovation. It also inculcates students with an entrepreneurial mindset to deal with uncertainties in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world, allowing them to become drivers of technology innovation. Students are provided with hands-on experiences in technopreneurship, along with a 20-week relevant overseas/local internship opportunities. The courses for the Second Major are offered by the NTU Entrepreneurship Academy (NTUpreneur) and the Nanyang Business School. Click here for a video about NTUpreneur undergraduate programmes.
