Glocal School of Natural & Applied Sciences
Glocal School of Natural & Applied SciencesIntroductionThe
Glocal School of Natural Science makes its debut this year.The
natural sciences, namely, mathematics, physics, chemistry and
biology, have long been regarded as the breeding ground for new
technologies and are usually seen as many years ahead of
technological deployment. This is because natural science is the
forerunner of applied science. In applied sciences, we plan to
offer the courses including forensic science, nano-science and
technology and industrial chemistry, as our starting point for the
vast area of applied sciences.We make a beginning in 2014 with
mathematics, physics and chemistry. The aim of this school is to
provide the facilities and environment of scientific thinking,
curiosity and investigation which will nurture and develop
scientific thought and discovery. Glocal realizes that the sciences
are no longer independent disciplines but are interdependent and
intertwined with one another.
In this school we employ and wish to attract men and women who
not only have a curious bent of mind, keen observation and above
all a desire to discover knowledge, but also those who are open,
inventive and who will not waiver in the face of experimental
failure. We see our school as the breeding ground of the future
J.C. Boses and C.V. Ramans and Chandrasekhars. We thus demand a
high degree of commitment right from the beginning.As with all
other undergraduate courses at Glocal, the first year is a common
foundation course and will enable the student to get a firm hold on
fundamentals. It will also expose the student to material from our
other schools like law, technology, media, etc., and will enable
him to make a change in his choice of degree or major if he so
desires.The UG courses are all 4-year Honours courses and are being
offered in mathematics, physics and chemistry in the Monsoon
semester of 2014.
The facilities we offer are one of the best featuring laser
technologies, spectroscopy including UV-VIS, FTIR, etc., gas
chromatography, crystallographic studies as well as our own
planetarium (to start in 2014) for astronomy. The labs are new and
we encourage self-designed instruments giving the scientist an
unusual insight into his chosen work. This is much in line with our
role models, namely Sir J.C. Bose and Nikola Tesla.The school is
closely connected to the schools of technology and computer
sciences and Glocal un expects the findings of the sciences to find
expression in technology through this close interaction.
UG CoursesObjective of the CourseStudying science at Glocal
would create a well-rounded individual who has the ability to
analyze and question the things around them, and has the potential
and drive to improve the quality of life through research.Our focus
is to develop scientific thinking, which means a reasoned and
analytic approach and the courage to experiment and accept
experimental findings and develop an integrity which goes with
scientific findings and research.
Careers in Natural & Applied SciencesOne of the best reasons
for studying science is the wide variety of career opportunities
that the graduate has access to. A science degree is a
well-established platform to a surprisingly wide range of careers
outside science (for example, management) as well as within science
(research, teaching, industry).
