The Institute of Applied Physics was announced in 2022 as part of the UM6P development, particularly in the education and research of Physical Science.

Physics is one of the fundamental sciences, with several enthralling concepts that have led to significant discoveries for the well-being of humankind. Therefore, education in Physics is crucial for UM6P and African students. The need is evident because understanding the World around us generates fundamental knowledge for future technological advancements. Therefore, studying novel concepts and modern physical phenomena will enrich the students’ thinking critically about developing new technologies, which will benefit the African economy.
