Department of Physics

Physics

4 Year Integrated M. Sc. (Hons) in Physics

Admission to the M.Sc. programme  is through the BITSAT entrance exam after 10+2. 
 
The M.Sc. Physics programme,  code B5,  has strong foundations in Physics, Mathematics and Computing. The programme can normally be completed in four years.  An additional year would be spent if the student takes a dual degree in another discipline.
 
Starting with a common set of foundational courses in the first year,  the programme has a mandatory set of physics courses spread through four years.  Students are also given an opportunity to explore their interests in Humanities through mandatory humanities electives. Students are further encouraged to explore other disciplines (outside Physics) through  open electives. Advanced courses in Physics or interdisciplinary areas are available through discipline electives.
 

Final year students have exposure to the real world through a semester-long thesis (TS) carrying out research or a semester in  industry (PS) through the practice school programme.
