The Department organises field trips relating to course work from time to time to impart a ‘learning beyond the classroom’ experience. It also takes the final year students on a study tour to observe institutions of higher learning and research activities in Physics as well as industries in other cities/ towns/states of India, to realise the application of Physics in the current scenario. These field trips usually include environment appreciation.

Physics Society: The Physics Society called “Hi-Phy” (High Physics) promotes interest in the field of Physics through a variety of co-curricular activities beyond the regular course work and examinations. The Association was started by the faculty and students of the Department in 1993. The students under the guidance of the staff members enthusiastically organise programmes such as quizzes, debates, competitions, seminars and lectures by eminent scientists throughout the academic year. The students also publish an annual Physics magazine called ‘Quark’ which features scientific articles, crosswords and puzzles, poems, etc. written by them. The highlight of the Hi-Phy calendar is the intercollegiate competition organised by the students every year since 1997.

The Department organises Night Sky Observation on a regular basis within the WCC campus. This unique facility is open to Physics major students and Non–Major Elective (Astrophysics) students paving the way to lifelong interest in astrophysics and astronomy.

A special lecture by Dr. B. Amudha, Scientist-E, Regional Meteorological Centre, Indian Meteorologic Department, Chennai, entitiled ‘Physics in Meteorology’ was organised as a part of the Physics intercollegiate fest, Hi-Phy on 28th January, 2020.

A special lecture by Dr. Shanti Bhattacharya, Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Madras and an alumna of WCC was organised by the Physics Association ’Hi-Phy’ on 5th August, 2019. She spoke on her research area of interest and expertise, ‘Diffractive Optical Elements (DOEs), Interferometry, Design of Optical MEMS for Telecommunications and Sensors’.

A one-day lecture with hands-on training on ‘Embedded Microcontroller ATmega 328 & Its Applications’ was conducted by the Department of Physics on 25th September, 2019 for the III B.Sc. students.
