Overview

The Master of Science in Physics (MScP) program spans a wide spectrum of physics topics that extend from nanostructures to astronomical dimensions. Integration of experimental and theoretical education and research is in the core of the program with the ultimate goal of yielding distinguished knowledge and cutting edge research skills. The academic aims of the program are to prepare students for professional roles in the area of applied physics, with the knowledge and skills to advance the discipline from the academic, research and practical standpoints. The MScP program will prepare the students to address the current and future challenges in disciplines such as scientific industries, government laboratories, consultations, research and development, management and investment in Physics, and academic positions. The intent is also to prepare students to engage in independent and collaborative research in academic, governmental and applied science contexts. During this educative process, students will participate in knowledge generation and improvement, research synthesis, and knowledge/technology transfer. Program Goals The goals of the program are to enable students to: Provide students with in-depth knowledge of advanced topics in their chosen sub-discipline of physics. Graduate students with the skills necessary to carry out independent research. Develop students' communication and teamwork skills. Produce graduates who are well prepared for the workplace or further studies (Ph.D.) in physics. Program Learning Outcomes Upon the successful completion of the program, students will be able to: Solve complex problems in physical applications. Use modern methods to carry out research and solve real life problems. Properly document and present the results of research work. Work effectively in teams and manage group tasks. Apply appropriate ethical standards to issues related to science, research, and work. Critically evaluate current information in the field of Physics.
