Department of Physics

Students must take three (3) of the five (5) introductory specialization courses (EKA) offered by the Department.  The following rules apply to these courses:

• Students who choose not to write a thesis must take all 5 introductory courses.
   
• Students who choose to do a dissertation can also take the other 2 introductory courses as free elective courses. 
   
• Each introductory course includes a laboratory and the final grade is derived from the grade of the course (by 75%) and the grade of the laboratory (by 25%). Students must also obtain a passing grade in both the course and the laboratory.
   
• Students must take the introductory course to the specialization they choose (e.g., students of the 1^st specialization must take the course Introduction to Astrophysics).

The introductory courses to the five Specializations (EKA) and the final year dissertation (corresponding to two semesters) are presented in the table below.
