FAQs 


  • What is Atomic and Molecular Physics?
    All the matter in the universe is organised into atoms and molecules. Behaviour of these fundamental building blocks under external and internal fields is the domain of atomic and molecular physics. Concepts derived from atomic and molecular physics play a central role in many other fields like Biomedical Sciences, Material Science, Chemistry, Nanotechnology, Astrophysics and Astronomy.

  • What we do?
    The Centre for Atomic and Molecular Physics has the goal of being an advanced centre for basic research and teaching. This new centre is a hub of basic research in a broader area of atomic and molecular physics consisting of theoretical and experimental physics, ultra-fast phenomena in atoms and molecules, light matter interactions, Optics and quantum electronics, condensed matter physics, nano physics and nuclear physics.

  • Where is Manipal University situated?
    The Manipal Group of institutions are located in scenic campuses, which provide a high quality lifestyle and ideal environments for study. The Manipal campus is situated on the Malabar Coast, between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghat mountains. The place is known for its moderate temperature and spectacular mountain views.
  • What are the facilities available in the University?
    The campus has modern buildings, academic facilities and student amenities for accommodation, sports and other extra-curricular activities. The professional colleges are known for their hi-tech labs, museums and the rich and varied backgrounds of the faculty who have trained and worked all over the globe. Campuses provide a cosmopolitan and congenial atmosphere through which students from over 55 countries create lifelong friendships.
  • What are the courses offered by Centre for Atomic and Molecular Physics?
      • M.Sc (Photonics)
      • PG Diploma in Photonics
      • Certificate course in Industrial and Medical Applications of lasers.

  • Can foreign students take admissions in your department?
    Yes, foreign nationals or Non Resident Indians or Indian nationals supported by NRI relatives can apply under the Foreign/ NRI category.

  • Can you brief about teaching methodology?
    Teaching methodology involves normal classroom teaching, tutorial sessions, laboratory sessions, experimental demonstrations, projects, power point presentations, seminars and guest lectures from eminent scientists in the advanced topics. Above all, the students are constantly guided and monitored by talented and dedicated faculty members.

  • Is there is any project opportunity in curriculum?
    Yes

  • What kind of academic background is best suited for studying at CAMP?
