Special Students may also be admitted to the PPG-Physics every semester. Special Students do not need a supervisor or a research project. In this category, the student is allowed to attend classes offered by the PPG-Physics with regular students. The special student category aims to offer students the chance to anticipate research activities by eliminating courses. It is meant for students who were unable to enrol in regular notices, either because they lacked the documentation or failed to meet deadlines. The special students who attend and are approved on the courses offered by the program can use the credits to eliminate this stage as a regular student in the future.
