Bachelor in Physics

Sorbonne University, Abu Dhabi, previously Paris Sorbonne University, Abu Dhabi, offers a Bachelor in Physics from its campus in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Physics is the scientific study of matter, energy, and the fundamental forces that govern the physical world, and undergraduate study in the field typically covers mechanics, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, waves and optics, and an introduction to modern topics such as quantum theory and relativity. Students also generally develop strong skills in mathematics, laboratory experimentation, and quantitative problem solving, since physics relies heavily on both theoretical modeling and empirical measurement. Graduates with a physics background pursue careers in research and development, engineering, data analysis, and technology sectors that value strong analytical and quantitative skills. Some graduates continue into specialized industries such as energy, telecommunications, or aerospace, applying physical principles to practical engineering problems, while others move into finance or technology roles that draw on the discipline's emphasis on modeling and problem solving. A significant number of physics graduates pursue further study at the graduate level, moving toward research careers in academic or industrial physics laboratories. As a bachelor's degree, the program builds core physics and mathematics knowledge in earlier years before allowing for more advanced or specialized coursework as students progress. Instruction is conducted in English, consistent with graduate and undergraduate programs across universities in the United Arab Emirates. The program is accredited by the UAE Commission for Academic Accreditation, confirming that it meets the country's recognized quality standards for higher education. Students considering this path generally benefit from strong mathematical ability and curiosity about how the physical world behaves at both small and large scales.
