M.Sc Physics at School Of Advanced Engineering, UPES, Dehradun Offline Course

The M.Sc. Physics program offered by UPES School of Advanced Engineering is a comprehensive 2-year postgraduate program spread over 4 semesters. It focuses on providing students with a deep understanding of advanced concepts in Physics while offering specialized training in two distinct areas: Astronomy & Astrophysics and Materials Science & Nanotechnology.

For students interested in Astronomy and Astrophysics, the program offers in-depth knowledge of extra-terrestrial events and entities, as well as various scientific observational technologies used to study distant worlds. To enhance the learning experience, an MoU with Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES) in Nainital has been established. This collaboration allows students to conduct experiments and collaborate with experienced scientists during their research and dissertation work. The specialization curriculum includes courses such as Fundamentals of Astronomy & Astrophysics, Planetary Sciences, and Computational Astrophysics.

On the other hand, for students pursuing Materials Science & Nanotechnology, the program offers extensive training in the synthesis and characterization of novel materials with diverse applications across various domains, including health, sanitation, defense, clean energy harvesting, aerospace, and semiconductors. The specialization allows students to work with faculty members who possess exceptional academic and research credentials in theoretical and experimental materials science. State-of-the-art material synthesis and characterization instruments available on the campus provide valuable hands-on experience. The specialization curriculum includes courses such as Foundations of Materials Science & Nanotechnology, Thermodynamics & Kinetics of Materials, and Material Synthesis and Characterization.
