The department of physics is one of the first departments established at The High Institute of Teachers in Omdurman in 1961. The institute was later joined to the University of Khartoum in 1974 and became the faculty of education. In this long period of time the department graduated thousands of physics teachers who worked in schools inside and outside Sudan. Moreover, a number of its graduates joined the institutes of Higher Education as teaching staff, researchers, consultants and managers both nationally and internationally.
