Introduction
The Department of Physics at King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) is committed to addressing the shortage of science personnel in Thailand and fostering the continuous development of society and economy through physics graduate curriculum. This curriculum, Master of Science (Physics), is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in both theoretical and applied physics, as well as encourage research and innovation, in order to produce graduates who are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to address the challenges facing society and industry. By focusing on teaching, research and innovation, the Department of Physics aims to ensure that its graduates are able to contribute to the effective resolution of problems to meet the needs of society and industry.
The Master of Science in Physics program is a 2-year graduate degree program that admits Thai and/or international students. The program is conducted in Thai and/or English.
Philosophy of the Curriculum
The philosophy of the Master of Science in Physics program is to develop graduates who are proficient in both theoretical and applied physics, able to build upon their existing knowledge to drive technological and innovative advancements. Additionally, these graduates should be aware of and adhere to academic integrity, be responsible in their work, and possess strong communication and technology skills.
Goals of the Curriculum
- The goals of the Master of Science in Physics program are to produce graduates who are proficient in both theoretical and applied physics, able to build upon their existing knowledge to drive technological and innovative advancements that are recognized nationally and beyond.
- The graduates should be responsible, punctual, honest, able to work well with others, and adhere to academic integrity.
- They should also possess strong research skills, including the ability to independently gather, analyze, and process information using information technology, as well as the ability to effectively communicate and disseminate knowledge.
Expected learning outcomes
- Students in the Master of Science in Physics program will be able to apply their knowledge of physics, materials physics, nanotechnology, and/or condensed matter technology to solving research problems. They will be able to correctly explain natural phenomena in the fields of physics, materials physics, nanotechnology, and/or condensed matter technology related to topics or problems they have studied. Students will be able to establish hypotheses and design experimental procedures to solve problems in physics, materials physics, nanotechnology, and/or condensed matter technology. They will also be able to apply their knowledge to correctly summarize the results of their research in accordance with academic principles.
- Students in the Master of Science in Physics program will be able to follow regulations and announcements, be responsible, punctual, honest, and able to lead in collaborative activities with others. They will also demonstrate academic integrity.
- Students are able to conduct research and gather information using information technology, and are able to communicate and disseminate their knowledge and innovations in the form of academic presentations or publications at the national or regional level. Students are also able to use information technology to search for and gather data for research projects. Students are able to publish their academic work in the form of oral presentations or academic journals, or share their innovations.
