Introduction
Do you want to follow in the footsteps of famous physicists like Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton and Stephen Hawking? Are you excited to dive into physical phenomena such as radiation, energy and gravity through different theories and experiments? And do you excel in physics and mathematics? Then you might want to consider a major in Physics!
Does this sound familiar?
- You are very curious about the world and would like to explain physical phenomena by conducting experiments
- You are interested in how concepts such as radiation, light, energy and gravity work
- You like solving problems: difficult formulas and calculations don’t scare you
- Physics and maths are by far your favorite subjects in high school
Majors
There is one major within the sector Physics that you could study in Cambodia:
With a major in Physics, you will get a deep understanding of both historical and modern physical theories and mathematics. You will learn everything about concepts that aim to explain our natural world, such as gravity, energy, and light. You will also gain practical experience by designing scientific research and conducting laboratory experiments.
Interview with Physics students
SOK Pisey (21) and SOK Sophany (21) are majoring in Physics at the Royal University of Phnom Penh. They chose this subject because they want to know more about the phenomena of the earth. They like finding out more about Newton’s laws, Magnetic Flux and Alternating currents. According to Sok Sophany the workload is average, 2 hours in the daytime and in the evening 2 to 3 hours. Pisey studies 30 hours per week. After graduation both Pisey and Sophany hope to become a teacher.
