M.Phil & Ph.D (Physics) by Research


Programme Name: Master of Philosophy and Doctor of Philosophy (Physics)


(Full time and Part time) – by Research


| M.Phil (Physics) – Research | Ph.D (Physics) – Research |


 

Department of Physics offers research programmes leading to MSc and PhD degree for students who wish to excel in their academic excellence. To ensure that the quality of the project is always up to standard, every student is required to present their project outcome that is evaluated by a panel of experts in the related area. This usually takes place in the third semester. On completion of the project, the candidates are required to submit their thesis for evaluation by external and internal examiners appointed by the Faculty.

 

PhD candidates are also required to present seminar related to their research findings as part of their training. They are also required to publish papers in indexed journals.
