Physics Education Research (PER)
Physics Education Research (PER) helps to develop research-based curriculum, from students’ understanding of various topics in physics. Researchers use physics problem solving methods in the process.
Study Opportunities
Study opportunities are available for Honours, Masters and PhD.
