Ph.D. in Physics

PhD in Physics program will focus on some of the theoretical and practical research fields that are compatible for the national needs to nationalize physics knowledge and scientific researches, especially with the qualified faculty members of AAUP and the different available laboratory technology in AAUP. This program targets graduates of the Master in Physics and any related graduate studies field like chemistry, mathematics and computer, knowing that AAUP offers the BA in physics since 2005, and Master in Physics since 2015 in addition to many other related BA and MSc specializations in Sciences, Engineering, Information Technology and Medical field programs that are the most needed programs in the local community.

The practical and modern research aspects in this program make it the distinguish program it is, as it provides for its graduates many chances of postdoctoral studies and job opportunities either in the academic field or in national institutions. Moreover, the program will enrich the scientific research and will benefit other researchers and students in the Palestinian community.

It is well-known that AAUP has all the capabilities to start this program, from the human resources (of researchers and faculty members), to the materialistic facilities of (labs and other preparations). As previously mentioned, this program will be taught under collaboration with many international researchers and research centers in some of the friendly universities.

PhD graduates will be able to work in the different academic institutions as researchers or as faculty members and they can also work in the practical scientific research or any other fields.

Careers of graduates:

Graduates of this program will have the opportunity and ability to work in many fields including:

  • In the education field (schools, universities, institutions and colleges)
  • Physics specialist.
  • Scientific labs and scientific research centers.
  • Ministries (i.e. the Ministry of Industry).
  • Industrial and technology sectors.
  • Medical fields.
  • Weather Service.
  • Firms that work in the environmental fields.
  • Desalination and water purification field, as some water companies might need physicists to do tests and measurements on water to make sure that it does not contain any materials that might affect people health.
