Mission

The Department has a mission to train Physicists with a view of the local needs of the country. The Department seeks to provide quality instruction at Bachelors Degree and graduate levels. It also encourages research, which would enable our graduates to be able to harness forces and exploit resources so that they can be instruments for development.
