Program Overview
The MPhil in physics is an postgraduate program that provides students with extensive training in the fundamentals of modern physics, fortifying that they have the foundation to pursue postgraduate study and careers in basic course work and later in the research. Those who opt to pursue physics; go on to study the discipline in much greater depth. Physics constitutes global studies and provides the intellectual bedrock of our technology. The MPhil in Physics aims to provide students with a broad overview of the modern understanding of physical laws, extensive practical lab experience, and research experience with leading research groups. The mission is fulfilled through coursework, a multitude of lab classes, and research opportunities.
MPhil Physics has a special emphasis on equipping the students with the needed tools for a successful academic and research career. By working one-on-one with our faculty and conducting laboratory research experience, the students will understand the most important concepts in physics, such as the evolution of the universe and the nature of subatomic particles. It will enable them to analyze and explain complex systems through quantitative and problem-solving skills.
The basic objective of the program is to provide the students with the latest developments associated with physics and its latest technologies. Moreover, it aims at helping the students to design and develop a strong background in the fundamentals of Physics and electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics. Because of the versatility of options provided to students, they will learn advanced Physics courses in the challenging fields of electrodynamics, optics, quantum mechanics, theoretical mechanics, thermodynamics, and solid-state physics.
The department of Physical Sciences is continuing to get information and gather innovative ideas; used to improve class teaching and professorial assignments as well as to motivate curriculum changes. The Mphil program offered in Physics is formulated to the Scheme of studies approved by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan to meet the national and international standards. Physics aims to examine and explore nature at its most fundamental level to figure out and apply the general laws that govern force and motion, matter and energy, space, and time. Physics studies systems ranging in size from the smallest elementary particles to the entire universe. Physics lies at the heart of the natural sciences. Almost any piece of modern scientific instrumentation is based on principles of optics, electronics, or nuclear physics and such apparatus usually has its origins in basic work done by physicists.
Modules
MPhil Physics explores waves, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics. Active involvement in research, both during the summer and school year, is strongly encouraged for all postgraduates. Students often receive academic credit for the physics work that they do inside the classroom and the labs. MPhil Physics, a two-year degree program, not only enables the students to scientifically understand and analyze the behavior of nature but orientate them with many interdisciplinary subjects such as physics with design studies, electro technology, systems and control engineering, energy and environmental studies, the physics of life, and nanotechnology.
Program at a glance
- A four-year program two-years program (Four Semesters)
- 30 credit hours
- Offered both in Spring and Fall semesters
The MPhil Physics program has designed modules to prepare students with the latest developments in the subject of physics and its associated technologies. Moreover, it aims at helping the students to design and develop a strong background in fundamentals of physics such as quantum mechanics, solid-state physics, relativity, statistical mechanics, and electrodynamics. Due to the diversity of options available to students, they will learn advanced-level physics courses in the emerging fields of physics. We wish to prepare our students to conduct independent scientific and analytical investigations in the changing discipline and to develop critical and scientific thinking skills needed for a suitable career in academia and industry as well as in research.
The MPhil degree program is offered by the Department of Physical Sciences as a full-time period of teaching. The main objectives of the program are to equip students with an understanding of fundamental concepts in physics, including classical mechanics and electromagnetism, thermodynamics and statistical physics, principles of waves and optics, and quantum mechanics. It will further help to apply knowledge and techniques from physics to solve problems in other physical sciences. This helps them identify problems for study, conduct independent studies and be effective members of collaborative teams. The four years modules are designed in such a way that enables students, to understand physical aspects of a problem, formulate a strategy for solution utilizing mathematical and computational methods, make appropriate approximations, and evaluate the correctness of their solution. The final stage is to develop research-based scientific thinking and to enhance professional skills for teaching, research, managerial positions in a wide range of professions in national and international organizations.
Teaching
Academic modules are taught through a combination of lectures, tutorials, seminars, workshops, online learning, and independent study. Number of modules studied vary per year and is the equivalent of a weekly two-three-hour lecture. You will be guided about study time preparing for classes, reading primary texts, and completing research projects.
The full-time BS Physics course is delivered interactively and practically which provides a useful learning experience. Auxiliary online materials are available and there will be various events and activities to further enhance the learning. The program requires computational physics and programming classes, writing and presentation class, and offers an electronic design lab class, as well as a sequence of mathematical methods classes. Connections of coursework material and technological and practical applications are emphasized through several innovative classes and freshman seminars. The department encourages the students to participate in the research projects, and provide them with possible facilities and guidance
We are committed to providing outstanding education to our research scholars following the principles of The University of Chenab’s mission.
The allocation of supervision for this course is the responsibility of the Faculty of Physical and Biological Sciences which caters to the students’ interest anyway, to pursue the meticulous research work. Students are also supported throughout the course, by their supervisors, who are in continuous alliance and assistance with the student to produce a decked-up research work. The research activities are planned in modern areas of Mathematics to find solutions to current mathematical problems.
Assessment
All the modules are assessed by coursework, including individual assignments, case study analysis, projects, online quizzes, group work, and presentations.
