The Bachelor of Science in Physics with Honours at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) offers a rigorous academic program designed to establish a strong foundation in fundamental physics during the early stages of study. Students are introduced to key core areas, including Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Vibrations and Waves, Modern Physics, and Electronics, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of essential physical principles.

As the program progresses, students acquire the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required for advanced study and professional development. The curriculum allows students to pursue specialization in one of three focused tracks: Pure Physics, Electronics and Semiconductor, or Optics and Photonics. This structured approach equips graduates with the scientific depth and technical competence necessary for careers in research, technology-driven industries, and further postgraduate studies in physics and related fields.
