Christ University Kerala has launched two new four-year undergraduate honours programmes in Physics and Data Science [1].
These additions expand the academic portfolio of the institution, providing students with more specialized paths in STEM fields to meet evolving educational standards.
The new academic offerings are designed as four-year [1] degrees. This structure allows students to pursue an honours track, which typically involves deeper research and more comprehensive study than traditional three-year undergraduate degrees.
Prospective students interested in these programs must submit their applications by July 17 [2]. The university is utilizing these new streams to offer expanded undergraduate degree options for incoming students in the region [1].
By introducing Data Science and Physics at the honours level, the university aims to align its curriculum with modern industry demands. The Physics program focuses on fundamental scientific principles, while the Data Science track addresses the growing need for analytical expertise in the digital economy.
The application process is currently open, and the university is encouraging eligible candidates to apply before the deadline on July 17 [2].
