Our department offers traditional master’s program in Physics to a limited number of motivated students with good academic record.
They are well trained in both in theoretical as well as experimental physics motivating them to take up higher studies or equip them with necessary skills to seek careers teaching, research in national labs, industries, or related administrative services. Most of our dedicated teaching faculty are doctorates from premiere national and international institutions. The students are also trained in human values and service of society as envisioned by our philanthropic Chancellor, Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi.
The final semester is made free of other course work so that students can explore opportunities for internship / MSc project work in premiere institutions like IISc, IITs, IIST, or National Labs. They gain rich research experience, and an expansive outlook on research ambiance in institutions across the country. Many our students have availed the opportunities to do their internship/project work in many such institutions. Further, our school offers exchange program opportunities to our MSc students through Amrita Centre of International Programs (ACIP). When specific opportunity arises, the centre facilitates them do their MSc projects in universities in US, Europe and Australia. Recently, one of our students went to University of Colorado for his MSc project. A few students have joined for the PhD programs in prestigious institutions.
