Prepare for B.Sc. (Hons) in Physics

The B.Sc. (Hons) in Physics Program at Amrita aims to train the students in high level theoretical knowledge enabling them to tackle practical complex problems in industrial fields as well as to pursue further academic achievements through research. Since Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Life Sciences are fundamental courses in sciences, students will be taught a mix of all these four subjects during the first two years. After successful completion of fundamental courses, a student will take up core courses in Physics. In addition to the core Physics subjects, the students can acquire additional expertise in special area of Physics in the final year. During this period, all possible opportunities will be created for close interaction with research institutes and industries to provide high level training. After successful completion of the academic requirements, students are awarded a Master of Science degree.

Thus, the main objective of this program is to prepare the younger generation to cope with the emerging scenario in the top-level industries, academic and research institutions.
