Physics Academic Offerings
ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES
Physics department is one of the eight departments in SST and fall under the stream of Physical Sciences. Physics is offered in undergraduate and postgraduate, from Extended Curriculum Programmes (BSc-ECP), BSc I,II,III, BSc honours, MSc and PhD programmes. Students are required to take Mathematics for them to major in Physics.
Practicals are essential part of Physics, hence students are required to do a component of Practicals. Courses offered are listed below:
