How does the universe work? What are atoms made of? While the first question is about the biggest of things, the second asks about the unimaginably small. Yet both questions fall under the scope of physics.
Physics majors seek to understand the laws that govern the universe. From gigantic stars trillions of miles away to the subatomic particles within our own bodies, physics takes on matter and energy in all its forms.Physics is the scientific study of matter and energy. Topics covered include classical and modern theories, electricity and magnetism, and relativity.
In recent years, post graduate M.Sc Programs have been created at different campuses in Nepal. The number of physics graduates at B.Sc Level is on gradual rise. This trend is relatively higher than those in other science subject areas. Tribhuvan University (TU) is the only University in the country where B.Sc Prgram with major in Physics exists at B.Sc level. In the last academic session of 2008 AD, some 750 B.Sc. graduates appeared at the entrance tests. Out of those numbers 500 students were enrolled for M.Sc at different constituent and privately run campusese affiliated to TU. M.Sc proram exists at CDP, Kirtipur; Patan Multiple Campus, Lalitpur; GoldenGate International College and St. Xavier college in the capital city, Kathmandu. Birendra Multiple Campus, Bharatpur; Prithvi Narayan Campus, Pokhara and Mahendra Morang Campus, Biratnagar are other constituent campuses outside the capital where PG program in Physics has begun. The CDP has a history of four and half decades whereas the programs at other campuses are recent ones.
