About Department

The Department of Physics was established under Dr. B. R. Ambedkar University, Agra, Apart from being one of the most prestigious departments that runs B.Sc. (since 1959), and M.Sc. (since 1965) programmes, it also offers courses in basic Physicsto undergraduate & postgraduate students. The Department well equipped laboratory with modern instruments.

The academic programs of the department include BSc, MSc in Physics. The department conducts teaching for students of UG and PG programs for basic sciences as well as engineering discipline. The department is also involved in conducting interdisciplinary studies and collaborative research. Material science, functional nanomaterials, atomic physics, nuclear physics, non-linear dynamics, theoretical physics, soft condensed matter and biophysics are the thrust research areas of the department.
The department is well equipped with necessary facilities and resources for teaching, experiments, higher learning and research. The department also has a full fledged PG Departmental Library well stocked with standard books and journals.
