MASTER OF SCIENCE (PHYSICS) - K J Somaiya College of Science and Commerce

Master of Science

Physics | M.Sc.(Phy.)

The course is designed to offer in-depth knowledge of the subject starting from its basic concepts and moving on to the state of art technologies in use today with a view to catering to the present day requirements in Industries, Research and Development fields, Higher studies and Self-employment.

Also the course structure intends to inculcate strong laboratory skills in synchronization of latest trends and demands from the industry so that the student can take up independent projects which will help to be an entrepreneur. M.Sc. Electronics is a four-semester course spread over the period of two years. Students are also provided extensive laboratory training on the course content and the current requirements of industries and research and development fields. In the final semester every student has to undertake a project relevant to the industrial needs, the R& D activities and self –employment opportunities based on the specialization, he/she opts for. In addition the course caters to the requirements of providing complete exposure to NET/SET syllabus for Electronics farmed by the U.G.C. . The student after passing the M.Sc course has many opportunities of employment, self-employment and higher studies
