Welcome To Physics!
It is my pleasure to extend a very warm welcome to you from the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria.
Over the last six decades, we have continued to serve as a prestigious center for pace-setting excellence in Physics education as well as scientific research and application in Nigeria. At both undergraduate and graduate levels, we offer excellent physics and engineering physics education that emphasizes the application of classroom knowledge to real-world experiences.
It is the hope and aspiration of the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics that an alumnus of the department would have acquired adequate knowledge and skills to perform a job efficiently in diverse fields such as science, engineering, survey, education, banking, development planning, business, public service etc. where qualities of physics-precision and accuracy, analytical and logical thinking, clarity of thought and expression, systematic approach, qualitative and quantitative decision are required.
We are also proud to identify as a home to a thriving community of remarkable teachers and researchers across different Physics disciplines. I enjoin you to look through these pages and learn more about us. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
Once again, I welcome you!
