                             Postgraduate Department of Physics and Centre for Research at Baselius College offers B.Sc. Physics from 1995, M.Sc. Physics from 1998, and Ph.D. from 2014 onwards. The department is renowned for its commitment to academic excellence and scientific inquiry, offering a robust platform for students to explore the fundamental principles of physics and their applications.The department boasts eight faculty members having research and teaching experience in diverse fields such as nanomaterials, luminescent materials, solar cell, conducting polymers, ceramics, thin films, photonics, astrophysics are actively engaged in advancing knowledge through their scholarly contributions. This ensures that students receive comprehensive exposure to both theoretical concepts and practical applications, preparing them for a wide array of career paths in academia, research, industry etc. The department has good laboratory facilities for hands-on learning and experimentation in general physics, electronics, and computer programming, which encourage critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students. The department has a reference library with nearly 2000 textbooks, which is sufficient enough for the students to prepare for the examinations.

Four-year B.Sc. Physics (Hons.) with Photonics specialization offered by the department provides great opportunity for students to explore the latest advances in science and technology. M.Sc. Physics with Materials Science specialisation is offered to ensure the students get ample opportunities to pursue their career in a variety of related fields. The department also offers multidisciplinary courses and skill development courses for interested students.

The department is a recognised research centre of MG University and the centre has six research guides. Research lab has good instrumentation facilities such as UV-Vis spectrophotometer, computer controlled dip-coating unit, laser induced thermal lens setup, self-phase modulation setup, high temperature furnace, oven, ultrasonic bath, high resolution electronic balance, distilled water unit, magnetic stirrers, centrifugal separation unit, and fume-hood for safe handling of chemicals. The department also emphasizes interdisciplinary research collaborations, encouraging faculty and students to engage in cross-disciplinary projects that address contemporary scientific challenges.

Beyond academics, the Department support the learning community through seminars, workshops, and conferences that bring together experts, scholars, and students to exchange ideas to keep updated with the latest developments in physics. The department also serve as platform for students to build connections and network within the academic and industrial community through various MoUs signed with them. The department utilizes the expertise of the faculty members as well as external resources for preparing the students for various competitive examinations such as NET, GATE, JAM, JEST etc.

The department conducts All Kerala Physics Quiz competition in the beloved memory of departed Prof. Susan John K. and PowerPoint Presentation competition in memory of Prof. V. John. Students take leading role in materializing their knowledge by building prototypes and working models and exhibit them in exhibitions. The department organizes visits to research labs and institutes to motivate and develop an inquisitive mind among the students. Frequently, the students bring glory to the department by placing themselves in high positions in university examinations and other national level competitive examinations, winning prizes in various competitions etc.

Academically rich alumni of the department holding various positions in academia and industry within India and abroad have a strong bonding with their parent department and continuously thrive for its development.
