Description of the Department
The Department of Physics is concerned with the teaching and study of the fundamental
laws and phenomena of nature, from the structure of elementary particles to the structure
of the Universe. In addition, great emphasis is given to the practical importance of
Physics as the foundation of modern technology.
The Department has one of the largest undergraduate student body in the University with
over 1200 undergraduates currently enrolled, as well as about 70 graduate students. There
are 50 faculty members who undertake teaching and research activities.

Program of study
The courses offered by the Department are divided in two categories: the compulsory
courses, e.g. the courses containing the basic knowledge every Physicist should be
acquired with, and the elective ones. The elective courses can form groups, upon student‟s
choice, focusing on specific areas of Physics.
COURSE CATALOGUE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS
Regarding the course code numbers in this catalogue the following conventions apply: All
course code numbers are three digit integers preceded by one or two letters of the Latin
Alphabet. The first letter classifies the course in one of the following categories:
A: Astronomy, Astrophysics, Atmospheric Sciences
C: Computer science, Programming, Data processing, Numerical analysis
E: Electronics
G: General
M: Mathematics
P : Physics

Laboratory courses are designated by the additional letter L, following the course
classification letter. e.g., course code number ELxxx designates an electronics laboratory
course, while code number PLxxx designates a physics laboratory course.
The three digit integers in the course code numbers classify each course in one of four
levels of the content material:
101-199: Introductory, or elementary level courses (1st
-year)
201-299: Intermediate level courses (2nd
-year)
301-399: Intermediate-advanced level courses (3rd
-year)
401-499: Advanced level courses and/or specialized courses (4rth
-year)
The following conventions also apply: odd code numbers designate courses taught fall
semesters, while even code numbers designate courses taught spring semesters.
Code numbers in the ranges: 101-149, 201-249, 301-349, 401-499 designate required
courses, while course numbers in the ranges: 152-199, 252-299, 352-399, and 402-499
designate elective courses.
The letter designation of the category is not followed for the Dissertation, which can be
either experimental or theoretical from any of the above mentioned categories
In addition to the courses offered by the department of physics, students of physics are
required to take eight ECTS of introductory chemistry.
The total number of the ECTS credits in each Semester is 30

with the concepts and tools of economic analysis; secondly, to motivate students towards
further study of economics issues. Having attended the course, students will be able to
give answers to questions such as (indicatively): «Are there any economists in Heaven?”»
«How much has my „free‟ lunch cost?» «What does the 24-hour convenience store in my
neighborhood and IBM have in common?» «Why does oil price go up?» «Why the
government does not just print money to give to the poor?» «How much does a theater
ticket cost to 15-year-old Timmy and how much does it actually cost to 35-year-old
Edward?» «Is education a public good, and, if yes, how come my neighbour‟s Ferrari is
not? (we would love a free ride!)» «Is grandma Duck right in getting annoyed at night,
during the rehearsals of my group (called “Blood-thirsty Satans of Metal”)?» «Should I
offer gifts or cash for Christmas?» «Why the Rolling Stones sell out?».
