Master of Science in Physics

Physics is the study of the physical universe. By means of observation, experiment, theoretical constructions and computer simulations this science attempts to find the principles which describe the universe. Among the topics of physics are motion and force, energy, sound, electricity and magnetism, light, atomic and nuclear structure, nuclear reactions, electronic properties of conductors and semiconductors, materials important for energy applications, elementary particles and their interactions, particle accelerators, and the physics of living systems. The study of physics provides the basic understanding of nature and develops the analytical skills which are essential for progress in science and technology, e.g., conducting scientific research, solving environmental problems, advancing biomedical systems, and inventing cutting-edge technology.

TOEFL IBT- 80, PBT- 550, IELTS-6.5
All Official Transcripts. Bachelor Degree is required for Admission.
Personal Statement: Please try to address the following topics in your personal statement:
Leadership experiences and/or potential: experiences could be academic, community-focused, professional, or otherwise and demonstrate your potential for distinctive professional or scholarly contributions.
Academic Statement: Be sure to list/address the following:
What subfield(s) do you wish to focus on in graduate school, such as condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, high-energy physics, physics education research, biophysics, astrophysics, astronomy? Are you interested in theoretical research or experimental research, or both?
International students are required to take the TOEFL exam. The iBT (internet-based test) is preferred, as it contains a speaking test. Graduate school English Language requirements can be found at this webpage. However, the Department of Physics and Astronomy requires higher scores than the University. For example, we suggest a total average score of 100 or better on the iBT, but may accept slightly lower scores for exceptional cases.
