B.Sc. Physics/ B.Sc.(Hons.) Physics/ B.Sc.(Hons. with research) Physics

A Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Physics program is undergraduate degree that offers a comprehensive education in the field of physics. B.Sc. Physics program starts with foundational courses covering classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, Optics, Electromagnetic theory, thermodynamics etc. Physics heavily relies on mathematical tools for problem-solving and theoretical analysis. Therefore, students in B.Sc. Physics programs typically take courses in mathematical methods relevant to physics. Practical laboratory work is an integral part of a B.Sc. Physics program. Students engage in experiments to reinforce theoretical concepts, develop experimental skills, and learn to use scientific instruments and techniques. Laboratory work enhances students' understanding of physical phenomena and helps them develop critical thinking and analytical skills. B.Sc. Physics programs aim to develop both theoretical and experimental skills in students. Through coursework, laboratory work, and research projects, students learn to formulate and solve problems, design experiments, analyze data, and communicate their findings effectively. Overall, a B.Sc. Physics program provides students with a rigorous education in physics principles, practical laboratory experience, computational skills, and research opportunities, preparing them for diverse career opportunities or further academic pursuits in the field of physics and related disciplines.

Eligibility
