A Master of Science programme combining advanced coursework with an experience in conducting original research in physics and applied physics.
Applicants to the MSc in Physics programme must satisfy the following criteria:
- BSc in Physics or a related discipline. If the university has an honours system, at least second-upper class honours, or the equivalent, is required.
- International applicants must have either GRE General Test scores or GATE scores. A GRE subject score in Physics is welcome but not required.
- International applicants who are not native English speakers must have TOEFL scores or IETLS scores.
If you are unable to take the GRE/GATE or TOEFL/IETLS for some reason, it may be possible for you to take alternative evaluation tests administered by the School. Please ask your prospective supervisor (see below) for more information.
There are two application periods each year: October to January (for admission in August), and June to July (for admission in January). Most students are admitted during the first period.
Before you begin to apply, you should contact the faculty member(s) whom you are interested in working with, and ask if they are interested to be your research supervisor. Graduate students are admitted into the Division of Physics and Applied Physics only if a faculty member agrees to be the research supervisor. Once a faculty member has agreed to accept you as a graduate student, you may start the formal application process.
