COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Science (Physics specialisation) requires completion of 96 credit points through a structured postgraduate program designed to develop advanced knowledge and research skills in fundamental and applied physics. This specialisation focuses on understanding the laws that govern the physical universe, from subatomic particles to large-scale cosmic systems. Students gain expertise in core areas such as quantum mechanics, classical and modern physics, electromagnetism, statistical physics, and advanced mathematical methods used in physical sciences. The program integrates theoretical study with computational and experimental approaches, enabling students to analyse complex physical systems and apply quantitative methods to solve scientific problems. Students also have opportunities to explore specialised topics depending on their interests, such as condensed matter physics, particle physics, astrophysics, or applied physics. A major component of the program involves undertaking research projects under academic supervision, where students apply advanced analytical, experimental, or computational techniques to real scientific questions. This research experience strengthens critical thinking, problem-solving, and technical skills. Overall, the 96-credit-point structure combines advanced coursework with significant research training, preparing graduates for careers in scientific research, industry, data science, and technology sectors. It also provides a strong pathway to PhD studies, equipping students with the deep theoretical understanding and practical skills required to contribute to innovation and discovery in physics.
