The School of Applied Physics was established in 1965 as a service department based at Waigani, Port Moresby. Between 1971 and 1972, it was transferred to the Taraka Campus in Lae, Morobe Province, where it remains today, alongside other Engineering and Science Departments. It used to be relatively small compared to other academic departments, as it is only a service course.
Today, the number of intakes for both undergraduate and postgraduate students is equal to that of other departments.
