INTRODUCTION
Master of Science (MSc) in Physics is a two-year post-graduate degree course in Physics. Physics is the branch of natural science which is related to the study of matter, energy, force and the various interactions between them. The course is usually undertaken after a three-year BSc in Physics under-graduate degree program and prepares candidates for a career that is application and research-based. The course provides in-depth knowledge about the subject and emphasizes on the theoretical and practical concepts and the fundamentals of Physics. It also involves the basic concepts of Mathematics, Geometry and Computers. Important theories and laws are taught that involve the definition and applications of matter, motion, speed, velocity, space and time, inertia, energy, pressure and force. Candidates are trained to determine, derive and calculate numerical figures, precise measurements, diagrammatic illustrations and graphical representation to explain and demonstrate natural occurrences, simple machines, analysis of natural processes and working of everyday appliances.
The MSc in Physics course enhances personal skills like communication, attention to detail, numerical ability, teamwork, logic, presentation and analysis; and professional skills like planning and execution, problem-solving, critical thinking, analytical thinking and reasoning. Additional skill-enhancing programs like guest lectures, live projects, dissertations, seminars, workshops and internships ensure that candidates receive overall exposure, development and practice.
POINTS TO REMEMBER BEFORE CHOOSING A COLLEGE
Before choosing and shortlisting a college, it is important to consider some important criteria. These help to make the process of selection and finalization a confident decision so that candidates won’t feel regretted and disappointed.
Important criteria to remember are:
- Fee Budget – it is very important for fee structure and budget to be decided before the process of searching for Colleges. If your budget is flexible, this can be done later BUT if you are fixed with the budget, this should be done FIRST.
- Course Duration – ALWAYS check the duration of the course! Some integrated programs may be longer than expected.
- Subject of Interest/Specialization – it is important to choose a career field that you are 100% interested and passionate about.
- Location/Navigability – the college should be close to important centres like bus stops, main roads, printing/xerox centres, grocery stores, etc.
