    Hi All

    Just as a heads up WIT have a new physics degree starting this September, BSC (Hons) in Physics for Modern Technology.

    If you have ever wondered about any of the following questions then a physics degree maybe for you

    How do they fit so many songs onto an iPod?
    How does a rainbow form?
    How does an MRI work?
    How does the inner structure of the atom relate to vast structure of the universe?

    These and many more questions can be answered as you undertake a degree in physics.

    This course is very much inter disciplinary in nature, students will gain a very good physics understanding in the areas of semiconductors, photonics, optics, alternative energy and sensor systems. In addition to the physics modules students will gain skills in mathematics, programming and engineering. These skills make graduates highly sought after in many areas of industry and research.

    A work placement is included in the third year of this course. This work placement can be in industry or part of a research group. This is an essential part of a modern degree. Students have an opportunity to develop skills in communication, organisation and team work. Previous graduates have worked in a wide range of industries which included companies like Analog Devices (Limerick, Ireland), Nprime (Sheffield, England), ESA (European Space Agency, Noordwijk, The Netherlands) and Feed Henry (Waterford, Ireland). In fourth year students undertake a research project and also have a choice of several elective modules.

    To apply for this course for the forthcoming academic year 2011/2012 please apply directly to the college. To apply download the following form, BSC (Hons) Physics for Modern Technology. Applications are currently open and close on Tuesday 11th August 2011. I would suggest to apply sooner rather than later as interest in this course may be high. For more infomation about this course please refer to course page at the WIT website or alternatively contact course leaders Dr. Claire Keary or Ms. Catherine Walsh.
