Postgraduate Programme
For Men
Duration: 2 Years
The Masters Programme in Physics is designed to further strengthen students’ fundamentals in Physics and enable them to study advanced topics in many areas.
Along with adequate exposure to advanced theory courses, students will spend considerable amounts of time on experimental skills through various practical courses and computational labs. They will acquire the skills and confidence necessary to design, set up and perform experiments.
ELECTIVES
In Year 2 (Semesters 3 and 4), students can choose five elective courses from a broad selection of topics in frontier research areas, like Photonics, Microelectronics, Materials Science, Biomaterials, Nuclear Spectroscopy, Industry 4.0, Quantum Computing and Quantum Optics.
A mini project and a major project work is designed to cater to the research potential of the students through which the students gain experience in handling state-of-the-art and sophisticated research-grade equipment.
The degree provides graduands a clear passage for entry into positions in research and development, academia, industry, and technology. It also provides a pathway for those interested in contributing to cutting-edge advancements in physics through further research at the doctoral level, including at SSSIHL.
