About - De La Salle University

Department of Physics

Physics deals with the fundamental laws of nature, and forms the backbone of scientific knowledge. Because physics majors are trained to solve problems with a minimum of assumptions and using only the most fundamental principles, physicists are valued for their ability to solve novel problems that usually require innovative solutions. The development of technology in the past century has demonstrated that more often than not, the technology of tomorrow starts with Physics today.

Because the world is complex, problems in the real world require equally complex, interdisciplinary solutions. The Department aims to equip the students with the ability to bring together a combination of skills and knowledge from physics and various related backgrounds to address these real-world problems.

Vision-Mission

The De La Salle University Department of Physics is committed to develop lifelong learners, who are logical, analytical, creative and critical thinkers appreciative of God’s creation. The Department envisions itself as an advocate of effective educational practices in Physics. The quest for nature’s fundamental laws is accompanied by a concerted search for relevant applications benefiting Philippine society.
