TU/e, BSc, Applied Physics

Applied Physics is like a voyage of discovery. You won’t be sailing the seven seas, but you will be investigating how the world works. As applied physicist, you’re looking for regularities and patterns in nature. These ‘universal truths’ help you predict other situations and translate natural phenomena into technological applications. Did you know that turbulent flow in our blood is very similar to turbulent flow in the ocean? Taking a peek in the control room of nature In the Applied Physics major, you will get a backstage view of nature. You will meet the unexpected characteristics of light and sound, flow and heat, atoms and particles, and delve into questions such as: how do you measure brain signals? How do you apply laser technology? What can you do with magnetism? Subsequently, you learn to apply the knowledge that you have acquired.
