The Physics department of BITS Pilani, K K Birla Goa campus, established in 2004, is committed to fulfil the vision of the Institute, to “enrich, transform and inspire young minds”. We are currently twenty four faculty members with rich backgrounds, committed to the highest standards of excellence in teaching and research. We offer a four year Integrated Masters programme in Physics with input through BITSAT, a Minor programme in Physics for undergraduates majoring in other disciplines and a Doctoral programme. Our curriculum is vetted against the highest standards, and undergoes regular revisions and upgradation. Our courses encourage active participation and are geared towards the world of cutting edge science research.
To create future leaders in science and technology, to lead in physics education and research with inclusion and equity, to lead by example in nurturing a strong scientific temperament in the institute among all its members, flowing into society through our alumni.
To inculcate scientific temperament in bright young minds, to create a generation of scientists through quality education and training in research, to promote the values of social equity and inclusion through science, to contribute to the growth of scientific knowledge in fundamental and applied physics.
