B.Sc Physics is a four year annual program of Tribhuvan University. Tribhuvan University started 4 years Bachelor of Science in Physics (B.Sc Physics) from 2012 AD.

Physics is one of the most fundamental of all sciences, and is the basis of our scientific knowledge of the physical world. It seeks to explain the behaviour of matter, time and space in the universe and covers phenomena ranging from subnuclear interactions to cosmological events like the Big Bang. The traditional B.Sc. degree in Physics is centred on understanding scientific fundamentals and it is through this basic approach that advances in scientific knowledge and technological innovations have been made.

Currently Ten college are offering B.Sc Physics in Nepal. View the college name in the right side bar.

Eligibility

Any candidates who have completed 10+ 2 or equivalent securing minimum 'C' grade in all subjects of  Grade 11 and 12 with 200 Full Marks of Mathematics are eligible for admission in Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) in Physics program of Tribhuvan University. 

Job Prospects

A Physics graduate has research strengths in many frontier areas including nanoscience, quantum information technology, optical and magnetic materials, and biophysics.
