M.Sc.  in  Physics

Program Overview

Physics is the fundamental science that seeks to understand the nature and behavior of matter and energy. This program explores the laws that govern everything from subatomic particles to the largest galaxies. The postgraduate programme in Physics spans two academic years (typically four semesters), providing a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of advanced physical concepts. Over this period, students progressively engage with both foundational theories and emerging areas of research. The curriculum is structured to move from core physical principles — such as quantum mechanics, classical electrodynamics, and statistical physics — into specialized topics including condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, and materials science.
