Master of Philosophy in Physics
Introduction
The M.Phil. in Physics program at Gomal University is a rigorous two-year postgraduate degree designed to deepen students’ understanding of advanced physics concepts and research methodologies. Structured over four semesters, the program encompasses 30 credit hours, including 24 credits of coursework and a 6-credit research thesis. Core subjects such as quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, and statistical mechanics form the foundation, while elective courses allow for specialization in areas like high energy physics and condensed matter physics. Students engage in original research under the guidance of experienced faculty, culminating in a thesis evaluated by an external examiner and defended publicly. Admission requires a minimum of 16 years of education in physics with at least a second division or a CGPA of 2.5, along with passing an entry test approved by the university. Graduates are well-prepared for careers in academia, research institutions, and industries where advanced physics knowledge is essential.
