Our mission is to enhance our students’ intellectual skills through the rigorous study of physics. We offer a spectrum of courses that reflects both the integral character of physics in the liberal arts curriculum and its essential role in engineering and technology.

Due to COVID-19, classroom courses during Fall 2021 will be offered in a live online format. We continue to offer self-paced online courses.

Are you completing your qualification in the field of science? Our courses combine a theoretical background into astronomical techniques, instrumentation and data analysis in the areas of astronomy, space science and astrophysics.The UCT Faculty of Science is, by various measures, the best in South Africa, it has the largest number of scientists who have been rated through a rigorous process of international evaluation and within this group it has the largest number who are acknowledged to be world leaders in their fields, holding an “A” rating. Get a taste of what it’s like to study a course for a semester at a renowned department such as this one. Join the Semester Study Abroad Programme today! Choose from a variety of bachelor and master’s courses, across a wide range of disciplines for international credit transfer.

This course is designed to introduce students to the key aspects of science (biology, chemistry and physics). It will equip students with vital knowledge and skills to enable them to flourish academically and personally.

Focuses on the use of engineering principles, simulation and physical models in product design. Hands-on exercises allow students to propose solutions to practical problems and to develop their ideas through the construction and testing of physical prototypes.

Analytical chemistry techniques and instrumentation are evolving rapidly. Stay ahead of the curve and advance your knowledge of the increasingly sophisticated analytical chemistry and instrumental techniques with our flexible, multidisciplinary, online course.

The SP2ARK - Space Plasma Propulsion: Advancements, Research, and Know-How Seasonal School will introduce participants to the topic of plasma-based electric propulsion (EP), which represents an enabling technology for a growing number of space applications, from low Earth orbit constellations to interplanetary missions. Interest in EP systems has accelerated in recent years, thanks to the technological maturity achieved by several concepts and the growth of a new space economy.

The GIS and Remote Sensing Core Facility was created in 2001 in response to a  rapidly growing need for GeoSpatial Technology training and support in a variety of disciplines. The Binghamton University GIS and Remote Sensing Core Facility supports the research mission of the university.

Combine elective courses (STEM, Humanities, Social Sciences) in English or Spanish for your major or minor in any of the University of Alicante programs with Spanish language course/s. Two main programs: Focus on uni and Focus on Spanish. You decide whether you want to focus on the electives and only have a little Spanish, or you prefer to focus on improving your language skills and intercultural competence with Spanish courses and only take one elective.

Introduction to Construction Materials and Calorimetry course will teach you about characterization techniques and how to investigate material failures in construction. The other part of this course is about calorimetry, which is the process of measuring the amount of heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction. By knowing the change in heat, it can be determined whether or not a reaction is exothermic (releases heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat).

The Marine Science Department Award comprises 21 units and signifies that students have a broad background in the physical and biological processes of the world's oceans and the tools and techniques with which they are studied. The curriculum includes courses in Biology, Marine Technology, and Earth & Planetary Sciences and is especially suited to students interested in the fields of mariculture, boating and recreation, skin and SCUBA diving, fishing, scientific research, and marine science education. The student pursuing the Marine Science Award must consult with the Faculty Adviser early to formulate a program of study and to ensure space in classes.

This program offers a full semester (27 ECTS credits) taught in English.

In this course, we will explore the diverse marine ecosystems of the Pacific side of Costa Rica through immersive field studies, we will focus on rocky reef ecology, mangrove ecosystems, intertidal zone ecology, plankton ecology, marine biodiversity, conservation practices, local fishing, and the role of genetics in marine conservation.

The Science IGCSE Course combines the most interesting aspects of IGCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics. This is an ideal introduction for students who require a grounding in elementary science which has become a requirement for many important occupations, such as Teaching, Nursing & midwifery.

The IGCSE in Physics aims to impart a systematic body of scientific knowledge and skills as well as foster an appreciation of the practical nature of physics. Experimental and investigative skills based on safe, correct safe laboratory techniques will be developed. Students will also gain an appreciation of scientific methods and learn to form hypotheses and design experiments to test them.
