MS Physics

Physics is a scientific discipline that explores the universe from its very largest cosmological scale to the sub-nuclear scale of elementary particles, from the synthetic materials of solid-state physics and materials science to the living systems in biophysics and medical physics. Modern physics is therefore best defined not in terms of any one specific area of interest, but by the approach it adopts to examine the universe around us. Using well-designed experiments and measurements and formal analyses, physics provides a means of developing an overarching understanding of natural processes.
