M.Phil. (Physics)

Master of Philosophy in Physics

M.Phil. Physics or Master of Philosophy in Physics is a postgraduate Physics course. Physics is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space-time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly, it is the general analysis of nature, conducted to understand how the universe behaves. Generally, M.Phil. Physics is a two-year course is designed to provide further study and training in research in physics. It includes lectures and relevant practical work, occupying up to the equivalent of one term. The duration of the course is two years and the syllabus is divided into three semesters. After completing the course candidates have a lot of career scopes.

How is M.Phil. Physics Course Beneficial?

• Physics finds a wide application in industry, atomic and space organizations, forensic science, meteorology, electronics, design and development engineering, research laboratories.
• It also has considerable commercial and military value. Physicists are mainly involved in (R&D) research and development in specialized branches such as elementary particle physics, astrophysics, nuclear physics, biotechnology, etc. A growing number of physicists specialize in biophysics, chemical physics, radiophysics, astrophysics, and related sciences.
• Besides going in for research, you could also teach in colleges or universities for which the minimum requirement is M.Sc. Physics and qualifying the UGC-CSIR NET for lectureship and JRF. M.Sc. followed by a B.Ed. will enable you to teach at the high school level.
• You can also take the Civil Services as well as the Indian Forest Service Exams with Physics as one of the papers in the Mains examination.
