First Year
A common foundational year for science colleges that includes 11 courses totaling 32 credit hours. This year focuses on developing students’ general and specialized English language skills, in addition to Arabic language skills. It also provides them with fundamental knowledge in general mathematics, general physics, biology, general chemistry, and programming, as well as equipping them with learning and communication skills.
Second Year
This is the first specialization year in the program and includes 12 courses totaling 33 credit hours. It focuses on providing students with knowledge and foundational concepts in physics such as electricity and magnetism, vibrations and waves, electric circuits, power systems, and thermal physics. It also includes calculus and mathematics for physical sciences. Additionally, this year introduces students to alternative energy sciences through a 3-credit course titled "Introduction to Renewable Energy" (2 credits theoretical, 1 credit practical).
Third Year
In the third year, a set of advanced courses in physics and alternative energy are offered, totaling 36 credit hours across 15 courses. These include a 3-credit specialized course in solar cell physics, as well as a set of college requirements such as "Technical Report Writing", "Introduction to Statistics and Probability", and "Research Methodology and Ethics".
Fourth Year
In the fourth year, which includes 16 advanced courses in Physics and Energy totaling 35 credit hours, 27 credit hours are advanced courses in alternative energy. Two of these courses have been aligned with two professional certificates: one in solar cell systems design and the other in energy systems monitoring. Additionally, there are 4 credit hours for two graduation project courses (Project 1 and 2) and 4 credit hours for two elective courses, allowing the student to choose one of the specialized courses in energy or physics. In the summer semester of the fourth year, students become eligible for field training at specialized institutions whose training programs align with the learning outcomes of the Physics and Renewable Energy program.
