Doctor's degree Physics - Brandeis University

Doctor's degree Physics from Brandeis University is a Campus Ph.D Physics degree that prepares you for a Science career. All incoming graduate students, unless exempted by examination, are required to take two semesters each of quantum mechanics and electricity and magnetism (at the Sakurai and Jackson level). Successful completion of these courses, along with an oral exam on general introductory level physics , constitute the first half of the Ph.D. qualifying examination. A first-year tutorial course is offered to help students fill in gaps that might have occurred in their undergraduate education and to prepare them for the qualifying oral exam and for future research. Students also make and hear presentations on various research opportunities, as well as solving physics problems at the blackboard. In addition to the core courses, students typically take one or two courses in the areas of solid state physics , experimental physics, particle physics , etc. The experimental physics course (Physics 169) is a required laboratory course for students who will do their dissertation in an experimental research field. This course is also strongly recommended for those students who wish to keep experimental research open as an option in spite of an initial preference for theoretical research.
