Department of Physics

Greetings, I am İrem UZUN, a fourth-year student majoring in Physics at Balıkesir University, Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Our department was established with the aim of nurturing inquisitive and research-oriented scientists in the field of physics. Situated on the Çağış Campus of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, our department offers a curriculum that emphasizes mathematics-based courses. This includes subjects such as statistics, physics, and general mathematics. We have a total of four student laboratories and 14 research laboratories within our department.
Unlike some other departments, there is no compulsory internship requirement in our program. Instead, we conclude our studies with a graduation project. Following graduation from the Physics department, our career prospects typically involve working as physicists in various industries. Alternatively, we can pursue opportunities in the field of education.
I personally chose to study Physics due to my innate curiosity and passion for the subject. Balıkesir University attracted me with its advantageous location, being close to major cities, and the high caliber of its academic staff. Throughout my academic journey, I have found great value in the research laboratories where we conduct our experiments and the student societies that organize engaging social events.
Looking ahead, my post-graduation plans include pursuing a master's degree. Additionally, I am contemplating undergoing teacher training to explore opportunities in the field of education. For prospective students considering our department, I strongly recommend focusing on enhancing their skills, particularly in mathematics and numerical fields.
I extend my best wishes to all students preparing for university entrance exams and warmly invite you to join us at Balıkesir University, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Department of Physics.
