Our goal is to produce graduates who can function in an outstanding manner whether as academic in universities, technical experts for the government and private sector, researchers in R & D organizations. In whatever capacity they serve, they will have a solid grounding in their field and will be equipped with strong critical and analytical abilities developed by programme. As a physics major, you will first develop a strong background in mathematics and fundamentals of physics. Later, you will tackle advanced level physics courses in such challenging fields as optics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, theoretical mechanics, electrodynamics and solid state physics.
