Students in the Physics academic programme focus on natural processes that are accessible to experimental exploration, measurement, and mathematical representation, and which are subject to universal laws.
Physics is a branch of the Natural Sciences, which are concerned with all of the observable phenomena described above. Students have a wide variety of options when choosing a particular field within physics. The spectrum ranges from work with distances between 100000000000000000000000000 m (the diameter of the universe) all the way down to 0,000000000000000001 m (the smallest distance accessible to high energy accelerators). Students also have the option of choosing to focus on a comprehensive theory of elementary particles and their interactions or electing to learn about topics such as the development of radiation therapy methods for treating cancer or the observation of neuronal processes in the human brain. In addition, the study of Physics offers an opportunity for studying tools, methods, and concepts that can be used to discover and eliminate environmental problems on both a local and global level. It was physics experts, too, who invented the World Wide Web, originally intended as a means of exchanging information about their experiments.
