The aim of Mid-Western University (MWU), an independent, public university, is to serve the people of Nepal and enhance the worldwide learning community by expanding the benefits of higher education. Since 2012, MWU has offered bachelor's degrees in physics. In order to meet the needs of students looking for a graduate program in physics of the highest academic standards and to generate the human resources needed for the creation and dissemination of knowledge thru teaching and research, MWU announces a Master of Physics degree. Physics is the most fundamental subject that explains how and why things work and intersects with all scientific areas of research.
