'' Welcome to the Department of Physics, Faculty of Physical Sciences under the college for Natural and Pharmaceutical sciences. The Department, at undergraduate level, runs two programs leading to the award of Bachelor of Science honors degrees in Physics, B.Sc (Hon) Physics and Physics with Electronics, B.Sc. (Hon) Physics with Electronics. At postgraduate level the Department offers Master of Science (M.Sc), Master of Philosophy (M.Phil) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Physics, Electronics, Nuclear Physics, and Geophysics degrees. The Department was established in 1976 when the Faculty of Science was created. At its inception, the Department started a degree program in physics (B.Sc. in Physics). The B.Sc. in Electronics program was later introduced in the 2004/2005 academic session that was renamed as B.Sc. in Physics with Electronics in 2016. Studying physics offers students a fundamental understanding of the way the universe works, brings them to the forefront of technology and provides them with the opportunity to be versatile in every field of human endeavor. Physics is a savor that enables us to appreciate the essence of life. Level Coordinators in the Department have been assigned at all levels to advise and guide students on how to pursue their studies successfully and on all matters relating to the students’ life on campus. All staff in the Department are ready and willing at all times to attend to students’ problems.
The aims of the Physics program are to train:
(a) Manpower that will maintain leadership in research institutes and wide range of industries that may include Aerospace, Electronics, Mineral Exploration, Communications, Information technology, Research, Computing, Biomedicine, Engineering, Defense, Commerce and Civil service: both in scientific and administrative areas.
(b) Young students that will be job creators and managers of resources and enable them to achieve their dreams and exploit their potentials to the fullest.
I wish to welcome you to the Department of physics, Faculty of Physical Sciences in the School of Natural and Pharmaceutical sciences, Bayero University, Kano. I conclude by wishing you successful pursue of your registered program in the Department''
