Post Graduate Programs

Msc Physics

Duration of Course: Four Semesters (2years)

Scope Of Physics
 The Department provides basic physics foundation through Lecture and Laboratory that helps the student for their career both in Research and Technology. Physics is the fundamental science which explains almost every aspect of world from small particle like atom to great cluster of galaxies .Hence  the employment prospects for physics student are excellent both in India and abroad. A degree with physics is like a gateway to enter into the world class institutes like IISc, IIT, ISRO, BARC, DRDO,IIA  etc.   

The MSc Programme includes classical subjects in physics like Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Mathematical Methods in physics, Electronics, Statistical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, plasma physics and Computational physics as some of the general topics,. Students can opt for special papers like Material Science, Nuclear Physics, Astrophysics… in their second year.

It is a 2 year, 4 semester full time postgraduate degree course, affiliated to Bangalore University, Bangalore and recognized by Govt. of Karnataka 

Career Opportunities:  
Today’s World is running by Technology which is driven by the Research in Basic Sciences, A M.Sc degree in physics is a gateway to enter into Research in many Institutes. Bangalore is the Centre for many Research Institutes like IISc. ISRO, IIA, RRI, DRDO, NIAS and JNCASR .so students can join these Institutes after the completion of their M.Sc.

There are many opportunities available in IT field for M.Sc Physics graduates. Many IT companies such as Infosys, Wipro and TCS are recruiting M.Sc Physics graduates for software jobs. They can also get jobs in Energy Plants. Another job available for these graduates is Technician in Electronic Industry. They can apply for jobs in many companies in automobile industry. Some of those companies are Maruti Udyog, TATA Motors and Tech Mahindra.
There are also many opportunities available for M.Sc graduates in Government sector.
