Online Certificate in Optical Instrument Design: An increasing amount of today’s consumer, industrial, and business products incorporate optomechanical systems. These are essential to virtually every industry, including defence, medical, clean energy, nanotechnology, automotive, electronics, communications, entertainment, computers, and consumer products.

Develop the knowledge and skills needed to explore the smallest and largest scales of the Universe. You’ll learn to describe, analyse, test and explain phenomena in the physical world objectively and quantitatively, using appropriate mathematical tools and experimental methods. Develop your understanding of core physics concepts and processes.

The curriculum consists of a thesis that incorporates a research proposal, an oral defence (viva voce) and two manuscripts, based on the candidate's research, submitted for publication to a recognised accredited journal. Proof of the submission of the manuscripts is a compulsory condition for the degree to be conferred.

The Masters of Science in Photonics (M.Sc. Photonics) and the new M.Sc. Quantum Science & Technology are Master's degree courses providing multidisciplinary coverage in the field of optics, photonics and quantum technology. The two-year programs both comprise four educational stages. The course schedules range from fundamental scientific subjects to application-oriented photonics and quantum engineering aspects. The programs are designed to incorporate students of different backgrounds and nationalities and provides them with a solid knowledge in optics, photonics and quantum technology for scientific research and for their upcoming applications in industry. All students enrolled in these two-year programs receive dedicated tutorial support and are trained for leading positions in industry and academia.

Develop your knowledge and understanding of theoretical physics and the underpinning mathematics. This BSc (Honours) Mathematics and Physics degree will teach you how to use essential techniques and relevant software. Explore fundamental physics concepts, including Newtonian mechanics, special relativity, electromagnetism and quantum mechanics. Use applied mathematics tools, including mathematical methods, modelling and numerical techniques. 

In this specialist route available in our BSc (Honours) Natural Sciences (Q64), you’ll develop the knowledge and skills you need to explore the smallest and largest scales of the Universe. You’ll be able to objectively and quantitatively describe, analyse, test and explain phenomena in the physical world, using appropriate mathematical tools and experimental methods.

The curriculum consists of a dissertation that incorporates a research proposal to be completed within the first year of study

Master of Science in Physics is an appropriate bachelor's honours degree in Physics with an average of 60% or an equivalent with a minimum of 96 credits at NQF level 8 with an average of 60%. All students with foreign qualifications, including those with qualifications from African countries, must have their qualifications evaluated at SAQA.

The Science IGCSE Course combines the most interesting aspects of IGCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics. This is an ideal introduction for students who require a grounding in elementary science which has become a requirement for many important occupations, such as Teaching, Nursing & midwifery.

The IGCSE in Physics aims to impart a systematic body of scientific knowledge and skills as well as foster an appreciation of the practical nature of physics. Experimental and investigative skills based on safe, correct safe laboratory techniques will be developed. Students will also gain an appreciation of scientific methods and learn to form hypotheses and design experiments to test them.

The program of study leading to the degree of Master of Science, while emphasizing continued work in basic physics, permits many options in several applied physics specialties.

The main goal of this learning module is to discuss phase transitions and critical phenomena in statistical physics. We introduce the ideas of mean-field theory and renormalization group and exploit them to calculate the critical exponents for the Ising model. More advanced topics concern the models with continuous symmetry, topological phase transitions, as well as Monte Carlo simulations.

This is a special course for students who are working and studying at the same time. It is a self-paced course about Static Equipment. The course is suitable for engineering or science graduates who wish to become familiar with the engineering principles involved in the design of the static equipment.
