The Physics Laboratory of TTU was established on July, 2011 – before the first opening of school year of TTU. Two laboratories were set up, namely the Laboratory for Mechanics and the Laboratory for Electricity and Magnetism. These Laboratories were carefully selected to meet the international standards with the aim on the real applications in Science and Engineering problems.

All the equipment of two Physics Laboratories at TTU were provided by LD-DIDACTIC (http://www.ld-didactic.de/) company (Germany), one of the most well-known providers for the Laboratory equipment in Science and Engineering such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Photonics, etc., in the world.

Each Physics Laboratory at TTU consists of 9 experiments (18 experiments in total), each of which was selected in such a way that it can be set up and carried out in different ways corresponding to different physics phenomena.
