- BSc (General) Degree Program
The Department of Physics contributes
to the BSc (General) Degree Program
by offering course units in physics
and in electronics. Students can select
these subjects by registering for the
course units as specified by the Faculty.
The department is also offering several
auxiliary and optional course units
for the benefit of the students who
want to acquire knowledge only in particular
topics of these subjects. BSc (General)
degree students are required to follow
the levels 1, 2 and 3 course units and
the normal duration for completion is
three academic years. To be eligible
for the BSc (General) Degree, students
must follow course units aggregating
to a minimum of 90 credits and a set
of minimum requirements specified by
the Faculty. Limited number of students
are selected at the beginning of the
second semester of the first academic
year based upon the performance at examinations
in the first semester of the first academic
year when demand exceeds capacity, to
follow the subject electronics. and
it is compulsory for these students
to follow physics as a subject.
- BSc (Special) Degree Program
in Physics
BSc (Special) degree Program in Physics
is designed for the students who want
to be specialized in Physics and the duration
for the program is four years. Students
are selected to follow this program at
the end of the second year of their studies,
based on the performance during the first
two years. In this program, students are
exposed to the core areas of the subject
physics with a depth which is higher than
that of BSc (General) Degree Program.
Students are also trained in the related
experimental techniques through laboratory
courses. The minimum aggregation of credits
required for the eligibility for BSc (Special)
degree is 126.
- BSc (Special) Degree Program
in Mathematical Physics
For those who wish to acquire a higher
knowledge in the theoretical aspects of
Physics, the Department offers the BSc
(Special) Degree Program in Mathematical
Physics in collaboration with the Department
of Mathematics. The duration to complete
this program is four years. Students who
have followed three subjects Applied Mathematics,
Pure Mathematics, and Physics during their
first two years and reached a level better
than the minimum requirements as stipulated
by the Faculty of Science are eligible
to apply for this program. Students who
follow this program are given the opportunity
to study more theoretical courses with
a relatively low exposure to the experimental
aspects.
- Postgraduate Studies
The department recruits postgraduate
students for MPhil and PhD degrees, and
they are usually supported as Research
Assistants (RA) through research grants
obtained from various sources. Those who
are interested should contact the department
to obtain the information regarding the
available positions in this regard.
