Department of Physical Sciences
Overview
The Department of Physical Sciences focuses on studying matter, energy, and the interactions that shape our world through chemistry and physics.
Chemistry: The Science of Matter
Chemistry focuses on the fundamental mechanisms of chemical reactions and the behavior of matter, providing insights into everything from everyday products to complex biological processes. Chemists study the relationships between atoms and molecules, which leads to advancements in medicine, environmental science, and materials development.
Physics: The Science of Nature
Physics uncovers the basic principles that dictate how matter and energy interact, from tiny particles to large cosmic structures. It covers concepts like force, energy, and motion, helping us understand the natural world. Physicists study various topics, from the mechanics of common objects to the principles of quantum theory and cosmology.
