TptpL requires at least 1 years. TptpL will be awarded to BS graduates who have been  members of the unit and or those who are awarded MS degree from the unit)

5.
DTptp (no subject specified) awarded to those who receieve at least 3.50 GPA in their  MS degrees  and those who are awarded a PhD.)

Tptp's High School Stations

To have effective improvement of rural physics education. The Tptp group aims to focus on small scaleOne rural high school will be selected every year to be a high school station of the TPA.  Teachers from high school "station" will work and be trained at NU for twice a year. The staff of the Tptp will visit the school stations.  Supervisors will be assigned to each teachers and students. Teachers from nearby school are welcome to join the training at the station. Sponsors are from NU, the school, local authorities and private sources.
