Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) in Physics
The B.Sc. Physics programme aims to provide students with a strong foundation in fundamental and applied physics through a balanced combination of theory, laboratory work, and project-based learning.
Overview
The B.Sc. Physics programme aims to provide students with a strong foundation in fundamental and applied physics through a balanced combination of theory, laboratory work, and project-based learning. The programme is designed to develop analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a scientific approach to understanding physical phenomena.
The curriculum covers core areas such as mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, solid-state physics, and electronics, along with hands-on laboratory training and exposure to computational and experimental techniques. Emphasis is placed on conceptual clarity, experimental skills, and the application of physics to real-world problems.
The programme also prepares students for higher education, research, teaching, and careers in industry, technology, and interdisciplinary fields.
