Bachelor’s degree in BSc (Major: Physics)

This major aspires to impart a formal training in Physics at an intermediate level for the students. Accordingly, the proposed curriculum covers all fundamental aspects of condensed matter physics, Optics, Thermodynamics, Nuclear and particle physics. In addition to developing better understanding of the fundamentals, the students will be exposed to the societal interface of physics and the role of physics in the development of technology. It is envisaged that the students will have a broader vision and the program will permit students to shape their career as per their choice without being bound to a particular framework. A higher study in Physics (master’s program), in case a student chooses, will be an effortless progression and the students will be able to compete with the best and at any institute across the globe. Most of the theory courses are supplemented with tutorials. The tutorials will provide students with ample opportunities for brainstorming ideas and problem solving efforts. True to the character of Physics, there will be Laboratory classes to develop experimental finesse and have hands-on experience of the implications of theory.

Program Educational Objectives

The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) of a Basic Science Undergraduate Program are
generally aimed at preparing students for careers in scientific research or for advanced
degrees in the field. The following are some examples of PEOs for a Basic Science
Undergraduate Program:
1. Graduates of the program will have a strong foundation in the fundamental principles
of physics.
2. Graduates of the program will be able to apply their knowledge of basic science principles
to solve problems in their field of study and related areas.
3. Graduates of the program will have the ability to design and conduct experiments,
analyze data, and draw conclusions.
4. Graduates of the program will be able to communicate effectively, both orally and in
writing, about their scientific findings and ideas.
5. Graduates of the program will have an understanding of the impact of basic science
on society and will be able to engage in ethical and responsible scientific practices.
6. Graduates of the program will have developed critical thinking skills necessary to evaluate
and analyze scientific literature and data.
7. Graduates of the program will be prepared for advanced study in basic science fields
or for careers in research and development, teaching, or industry.
8. Graduates of the program will have an appreciation for interdisciplinary research and
be able to work effectively in teams with colleagues from different fields.

Student Outcomes

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve broadly defined scientific problems by applying
knowledge of mathematics and science to areas relevant to the discipline.
2. An ability to conduct experiments or test theories, as well as to analyze and
interpret data.
3. An ability to function on teams.
4. An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
5. An ability to communicate effectively.
