BSc Physical Sciences

Bachelor of Science in Physical Sciences

BSc Physical Sciences or Bachelor of Science in Physical Sciences is an Under-Graduate Physics course. In contrast to the biological sciences, physical science is concerned with the areas of natural science and science that research non-living things. The Physical Sciences program also includes the study of essential ideas and theories from Chemistry, Physics, Earth Science, Mathematics, Environmental Science, Biology, and other disciplines.

In other words, the Bachelor of Science in Physical Sciences degree program studies energy and matter and enables us to understand the cosmos through mass, weight, and other objective techniques. The Physical Sciences program is three years long.

BSc Physical Sciences Eligibility

• Aspiring students should have passed their 10+2 or equivalent examination in the Science stream from a recognized Board.
• Some reputed colleges and institutes demand a minimum of 50% marks at their Intermediate level as qualifying criteria to secure admission in this degree course.
• Some of the very reputed colleges and institutes also conduct an entrance examination to get admission to their B.Sc in Physical Sciences degree course.
• Selection to the degree course in these colleges is based on marks secured in the final merit i.e. total marks aggregated in the final exams of 10+2 and the entrance exam.

How is the BSc Physical Sciences Course Beneficial?

• The Bachelor of Science in Physical Sciences degree serves as a foundation for further higher education in this field, such as a Master of Science and a Ph.D. degree in Physical Sciences / Biophysics / Chemical Physics / Radio Physics / Astrophysics / Biotechnology / Chemistry / Bioinformatics / Microbiology / Environmental Science, etc., successful completion of which makes one eligible for the post of lecturer in any university/college, as well as an observer or scientist.
• After completing the M.Sc in Physical Sciences degree, one is eligible to pursue a Master of Technology in various engineering/technology disciplines such as aeronautical, chemical, automobile, instrumentation, electronics & communication, or computer science at leading institutions such as the IITs.
• Aside from the alternatives listed above, there are other disciplines for a career in Physical Science, including physics, thermodynamics, electromagnetics, mechanics, and kinetics.
