The Department of Physics of Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET) has started functioning as a full-fledged department since the inception of the University in 1962. The department has been offering Physics courses to undergraduate Engineering & Architecture students. Adequate laboratory facilities are available to supplement the theoretical knowledge and to provide an experimental basis. The department has introduced Postgraduate program (M. Phil & Ph. D) in the year 1982 and M. Sc. in the year 2014. The research is conducted in the fields of Magnetism, Solid State Physics, Crystal Growth, Polymer Physics, Biophysics, Medical Physics and Health Physics, and Atmospheric Physics. The Department has 20 faculty members at present and 10 technical personnel. So far more than 50 Ph. D., 250 M. Phil. and 60 M.Sc. students have received their degrees from this Department. The Departmental offices and laboratories are located in the Old Academic Building (OAB) of BUET main campus
