B.SC. (HONOURS) PHYSICS Physics Honours at St. Stephen’s is a rigorous programme designed to train students to become physicists. What makes the physics experience at St Stephen’s special, over and above the syllabus, are the dedication of its teachers,
the quality of its students, and the unique atmosphere in the college. At their best our teachers require their students to learn honestly, think independently,
recognize quality, and develop the confidence to create rather than merely reproduce. Teachers use innovative methods in their classrooms and update their knowledge regularly. The quality of the students and the atmosphere in the College inspire the teachers to go beyond the confines of the syllabus.
Theory courses offer the opportunity to explore the combination of mathematical and intuitive thinking. Lab courses include the usual physics experiments and, in addition,
electronics, microprocessors, and numerical and computational methods. The students are encouraged not just to perform experiments but also to connect them with theory,
to carryout error analysis, and sometimes to design them too. The students conduct required projects to explore areas outside the curriculum as well.
