The Department of Physics, University of Malaya was established in 1961 to train students who wish to study physics comprehensively and to lead research in physics in Malaysia. The department offers the Bachelor of Science, Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Students who graduate with the Bachelor of Science degree from the Department of Physics have the capability to hold various positions in the government and private sectors, as well as to pursue their studies to the higher degree levels in the field of physics or other related fields.
Courses for the Bachelor of Science are conducted in the modes of lecture, tutorial, practical and project in which students participate in various research under the supervision of the academics in the department. At the Master’s degree level, students may choose to enrol for the Master’s program by course work and/or by research. The Ph.D. program is conducted in the form of research.
The Department of Physics has attracted many students to enrol in the Faculty of Science. In the 2021/2022 academic session, a total of 235 students have enrolled in Bachelor of Science (Physics) program. At the postgraduate level, 32 students are currently enrolled in the Master of Science programme by research and 75 students in the Doctor of Philosophy program. International students cover 17% of the total student numbers at postgraduate level. The Department of Physics has also successfully acquired research funding under the 6th through 12th Malaysia Plan, and the department is now equipped with modern and sophisticated facilities for teaching and research.
The Department of Physics aims to provide the best teaching in physics and to produce graduates who are authoritative in physics. At the same time, the Department of Physics, University of Malaya also emphasizes on research activities in order to continue to excel and lead in this fundamental field of nature.

This newly formed deparment is the result of the amalgamation of two former departments and one division. They were the Department of Conservative Dentistry, the Department of Prosthetic Dentistry and the Periodontology division of the former Department of Oral Pathology, Oral Medicine and Peridontology. As a result, this academic department oversees the specialty related to conservative dentistry, prosthetic dentistry and periodontology, collectively known as Restorative Dentistry. Restorative dentistry is a branch of dentistry pertaining to the restoration and maintenance of oral functions, comfort, appearance and health of the patient by restoration of teeth (by fiillings, root canal treatment and/or crown) and/or replacement of the missing structures with removable or fix prostheses and the use of dental implants.
Conservative dentistry encompasses the disciplines of operative dentistry, endodontics and fixed prosthodontics while prosthetic dentistry encompasses mainly removable prosthodontics. Periodontology completes the picture by focusing on the structures that support the dentition. It is the aim of this department to ensure that students gain the appropriate knowledge, attitudes, communication skills and understanding of scientific and clinical principles to enable them provide comprehensive oral rehabilitation in an integrated clinical, academic and research environment.
This department is responsible for the teaching of Dental Materials and Dental Technology throughout the Year 2 of the Bachelor of Dentistry programme. We practise research-led learning where we incorporate the latest findings and perspectives related to restorative dentistry. Learning is facilitated through a variety of methods including lectures, tutorials, seminars, clinical case studies, problem-based learning and conducting research. Additionally, there are opportunities to develop practical skills and abilities in creative and critical enquiry. Research techniques, practices and principles represent fundamental components of the training programme. Continuing dental education programmes organized by the department as well as other specialties compliments the already integrated programme.
We are committed to attract staff and students of talent, ensure high quality of all our programmes and produce graduates and postgraduates who meet the present and future global health-care needs.
