1 2 3 4 5
1 Improving the basic of theoretical and experimental applications of Classical, Modern and Quantum Physics knowledge obtained through undergraduate education to advanced level.
2 Interpreting the encountered physical problems of advanced level according to physical principles and improving the ability of solving such problems.
3 Obtaining the ability of setting connection between theory and applications about physics.
4 Following and interpreting physics literature and obtaining the ability of preparing advanced pulications using these acqusitions.
5 Gaining the ability of presenting in front of a community with the help of the acqusition through the courses taken during graduate education.
6 Using the background and approaches of different principles at a level of producing new theorems.
7 Obtaining the ability of gathering information, making comparisons, analizing and generating solution to the problems of experimental or theoretical physics.
8 Gaining the ability of following and using the physics literature which progresses daily through contacting with colleagues working on similar subjects at the attended activities such as workshop, seminar and conference.
9 Setting a theoretical model, solving the problems related to that model, approaching experimentally to the model, making the analysis of the experimentally obtained data and interpreting it through the advanced level knowledge obtained through graduate education.
10 Ensuring the constitution of all information that will be used along with the academical life at advanced level and reaching to the level that advanced level researches about physics can be conducted by defining the relationship between the obtained knowledge.
