Explanatory Notes

1.

PHYS and MSEG courses at 2000 and above level will be included in the calculation of Major GPA for honours classification.

2.

Students may choose to declare one, or up to two streams, including the Science, Technology And Research Stream.

[a]

Upon written approval of the Department, students who have failed a required course in the final year of attendance may be allowed to take a substitute course at the same level as prescribed by the Department.

[b]

Students can be exempted from taking PHYS courses by taking the closely related course listed below. Units earned can be counted towards the Major Programme.

PHYS courseClosely related course
PHYS2051 Quantitative Methods for Basic PhysicsMATH2020/2028 Advanced Calculus II/Honours Advanced Calculus II
PHYS2061 Basic Computational PhysicsMATH3230 Numerical Analysis
[c]

Students who have taken both PHYS3031 and 4031 can use only one of the courses to fulfill the Elective Courses requirement.

[d]

Students who are under the Quantum Science and Technology Stream should take PHYS4031.

[e]

Upon approval of the Department, students who declare second major in Earth and Environmental Science may be allowed to use EESC4810 and/or EESC4820 to fulfill the requirement of PHYS4610 and/or PHYS4620.

[f]

Students, who are not under the Enrichment Stream in Theoretical Physics, have not taken PHYS4801 may seek approval from the Department to substitute PHYS4801 with PHYS4802. Students may also take both courses. In this case, PHYS4802 will be used to fulfill the Elective Courses requirement.

[g]

Students should note that CHEM1070/1072 is a required course. Students who do not take CHEM1070/1072 to fulfill the Faculty Package should include one of these courses here. For these students, the applicable units for [g1], [g2] and [g3] are 6, 24 and 12, respectively.

[h]

Students may seek approval from the Department to substitute PHYS2061 with CSCI2800/1510/1520/1110/1120 and to substitute PHYS3410 with ELEG2202.

[i]

PHYS and MSEG courses at 5000 level are offered by the Division of Physics and Division of Materials Science and Engineering respectively for postgraduate programmes.

[j]

Students may seek approval from the Department to substitute PHYS4021 with PHYS5410, PHYS4041 with PHYS5420, and PHYS4050 with PHYS5430.

[k]

Students who are under the Astrophysics and Particle Physics Stream may use PHYS3810 (1 unit) to fulfill the stream requirement, if the 1-unit project is related to astrophysics or particle physics. Departmental approval is required.

[l]

Students can only use one of PHYS2061, 3061 and 4061 to fulfill the Stream Elective Courses requirement.

[m]

Students can only use one of PHYS3022 and 3023 to fulfill the Stream Elective Courses requirement.

[n]

Students may select research-oriented course(s), as approved by the Major Programme, to substitute up to 4 units for fulfillment of Research Courses requirement.

[o]

Students must complete any exchange/research/internship programme(s) offered by the University, Colleges, the Faculty of Science or Major Programme, as approved by the Major Programme, to fulfill the Experiential Learning requirement. Students are responsible for the extra costs incurred in the exchange/research/internship programme(s).
