About the department

The Department of Physics was founded in 1966 as a department in the College of Science, which together with the College of Arts constituted Kuwait University at that time. Presently the department runs courses for more than 5000 students during the three semesters of fall, spring and summer. Besides serving our majors we function as a service department to the College of Engineering & Petroleum and to the College of Education. We also run service courses for the four Colleges of the Health Sciences Center: Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Allied Health.
