The department of physics has been established under the Faculty of Science in 2014. The Department offers different graduate and undergraduate degree programs in physics which are approved from Higher Education Commission (HEC) Pakistan. These programs are designed primarily for the students who want to prepare the career path which takes advantage of the diverse and expanding opportunities in industries, strategic organization and universities. The designed curriculum for these programs provides a solid foundation in the concepts of physics as well as giving the students the experience and understanding of application of these concepts. The Department of Physics aims to produce physics graduates with sound knowledge of basic and applied physics. The graduates with ability and skills to understand and tackle the research problems in advanced areas of science and technology. The graduates from Physics department are equipped with the necessary skills and competence which is required in the major research and technical organizations like the NESCOM, NDC, PAEC, KRL etc. The Department focusses on the research-oriented education, collaborative research groups, seminars, workshops and international conferences that are why the produced physicists have well matched rationale to deal with fundamental constituents of the observable universe from macroscopic to sub-microscopic level. Our faculty uses state-of-the-art pedagogical methods and materials aided with well equipped labs and the latest inventory, thus preparing the students for independent research projects as well as their absorption in top-level organizations.
Currently, there are more than 700 students enrolled in the department. We believe in continuous efforts in education and innovation to build DOP into a training base for outstanding talents in physics and relevant scientific research and high-quality research-oriented teachers. DOP believes the expansion of the Department into School (School of Physics) is indispensable; to cater the growing intellectual needs of students and to advance the level of graduates. School of Physics intends to start the following departments: • Department of Physics (already established) • Department of Nanotechnology • Department of Computational Physics • Department of High Energy Physics.
