Introduction:

The University of Education, Lahore started the discipline of Physics in 2008 keeping in view
its significance and demand. Over a short span of time, plenty of students are being enrolled
every year in BS and M.Sc. program. After successful completion of degree, most of the
students are serving the nation in wide range of professions. A significant number of
students graduated in physics from University of Education are pursuing their higher studies
in well reputed national and international universities/institutes. One of the major reasons
to initiate the MS in Physics program is to provide graduate students with scientific and
intellectual skills comparable with national and international standards to cater the need of
higher education in Pakistan. Division of Science and Technology at University of Education,
Lahore currently has enough PhD faculty members with specializations in advanced research
areas of physics from material science to nanotechnology. The curriculum designed and
presented below will definitely enhance and strengthen the concepts and scientific skills of
physics graduates.

Program Objectives:

The program will provide a forward-looking curriculum to graduate physics students,

involving not only traditional physics topics but also state-of-the-art instruction in
experimental techniques, computational physics and the use of computers in data
acquisition and analysis, as well as active involvement in professional research.

Vision:

To help and train students to establish a scientific knowledge-based progressive learning by

offering core physics courses and specialty options as well as hands-on involvement in the
lab/practical programs that familiarize students with state-of-the-art techniques and
equipment’s.

Mission Statement:

The BS in Physics program provides students with a thorough knowledge of physics as well
as an in-depth knowledge in the range of specialist areas. Students will prepare a Bachelor
thesis in a research domain related to material science, nuclear physics, solid state physics,

Page 3 of 126
soft matter physics or theoretical physics, nanotechnology, all areas in which the research
faculty within the Department of Physics have significant expertise. This elite MS program
offers not only thorough and specialized knowledge of physics, but also a wealth of
transferable skills. By honing skills of students in judgment, critical insight, problem analysis
and solving, experimental or theoretical methodology, report writing, team work and
understanding the social role of science. This program will form students into a responsible
physicist who would be able to contribute equally to science and society.

Admission Requirements:

FSc/A-level with Physics and Mathematics or equivalent, as per UE rules.

Medium of Instruction and Examination:

The medium of instruction and examination shall be ENGLISH except Islamic Studies which is
Urdu. For languages (e.g. Arabic), the medium of instruction and examination shall be that
language.
