Bachelor in Physics

Physics explores the fundamental laws governing matter, energy, and the physical universe, from classical mechanics to quantum theory. Students work through core coursework in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and modern physics, complemented by laboratory sessions that build experimental technique and data analysis skills. The program also introduces mathematical methods and computational modeling used to describe physical systems. Graduates pursue careers in research and development, engineering, data science, and technology sectors, or continue to graduate study in physics, astronomy, materials science, or engineering disciplines. The program is taught in English and runs over 4 years at Koç University, located in İstanbul, Turkey. Over the 4 years of study, students move from foundational courses toward more specialized electives, building both the theoretical grounding and the practical skills expected in the field. Studying at Koç University places students within İstanbul's wider academic and professional community, giving access to campus resources, faculty guidance, and opportunities to connect coursework with real-world practice through projects, internships, or research work depending on the track chosen. By graduation, students are expected to have a solid command of the discipline's core methods and terminology, along with the communication and analytical habits needed to move into entry-level professional roles or continue toward graduate study.
