Philosophy, Aims and Objectives of the Degree Programme

Philosophy

The curriculum of physics with electronics is meant to broaden the electronics engineering base of students who may wish to study pure electronics with physics without the Electrical Engineering aspects and also prepares them for higher degrees in Physics and Electronics Engineering. The programme is designed to give the students theoretical and practical skills in the areas of applied physics and electronics such as medical radiology, magnetic resonance imaging, analogue electronics systems, digital electronics systems, etc.

Aims and Objectives of the Degree Programme

The objectives of the programme are to:

1. Involve the students in intellectually stimulating and satisfying experience of learning and studying;
2. Prepare the students for advanced Physics and professional fields of Electronics Engineering;
3. Prepare students with skills for self-reliance and entrepreneurship;
4. Prepare the students for postgraduate studies in either Physics or Electronics Engineering; and
5. Prepare the students for research and innovation advancement in Physics and Electronics Engineering.

Basic Admission Requirements and Expected Duration of the Programmes

Admission Requirements

The entry requirements shall be at least passes at credit level at Senior Secondary Certificate (SSC) in five subjects at not more than two sittings. Such subjects include English Language, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. In addition, an acceptable pass in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) is required for admission into 100 Level.

Candidates with at least two A level passes in Physics and Mathematics at the Advanced Level may be considered for admission into 200 Level.

Minimum duration

The minimum duration of the Physics with Electronics degree programme is four academic sessions for UTME. The minimum duration will be three academic sessions for candidates admitted to the 200 Level
