9 Physics Degree Programs in China

Master in Physics engages in Scientific research work, product designing, technology development, and management in the fields of artificial intelligence technology, optoelectronic information technology, optical communication, laser 3D sensing, etc.

Physics at Westlake University has developed rapidly in recent years.  Great progress has been made in theoretical physics, condensed matter physics, atomic and molecular, and optical physics, and there are plans to develop high-energy physics and astrophysics directions. Physics students receive solid training in mathematics and theoretical and experimental physics. They will develop a wide range of interests and skills through coursework, experimentation, and participation in academic seminars and academic presentations.

Develop broad vision and intuition as you probe the principles and properties of matter, space, and time in our bachelor’s program in Physics. You’ll learn to make interdisciplinary connections between the branches of physics—high energy physics, astrophysics, atomic, molecular, and optics physics, condensed matter physics—and other scientific fields.

This program aims to equip students with basic physics theory, basic skills in conducting experiments, and the ability to engage in scientific research; and to enable them to become qualified middle-school teachers of physics and specialized personnel able to engage in work related to physics.

The primary goals of the graduate program in physics at WHUT are to solidify and broaden your knowledge of physics and to teach you how to do research, how to identify important problems, and how to communicate scientific information effectively.

The discipline of material science and engineering consists of 3 subordinate discipline of master on material science, material processing engineering, and materials physics and chemistry. This discipline aims to study the structure, processing, and properties of one material and investigate the relationships of these factors. The mandatory core courses include material analysis and characterization, selected topics of materials physics and so on. The main research area covers valence electron structure and materials design, the theory and application of material structure control under an external field.

Many of tomorrow’s innovations in fields such as fast computing, renewable energy generation, batteries, plastics, textiles, and transportation will rely on the unique and novel properties of materials. The development of such materials requires integrated knowledge in physics, chemistry, and biology, along with advanced mathematics and computation. The Materials Science major introduces students to the interdisciplinary study in materials science, which includes atomic and molecular structure, mechanical and thermodynamic properties, electric and magnetic properties, and fabrication methods and applications, together with disciplinary training in either physics or chemistry.

This major is a provincial-level professional comprehensive reform pilot major. It has 5 teaching experiment platforms, 3 engineering training sharing platforms; 1 student science and technology practice innovation center (teacher skill training center) and physics teacher skill learning club; it has multiple teaching practice bases in the Pearl River Delta region. After the implementation of the comprehensive reform of the college entrance examination, the employment demand for graduates of this major has increased significantly.

Geophysics has to do with the physics of the earth and its surrounding atmosphere and applies the theory and method of physics, combined with geology, atmospheric science, marine science and astronomy, to detect all kinds of geophysical fields (such as the earth's magnetic field, electric field, gravity field and seismic wave field, temperature field, the interior of the earth radiation, atmosphere and plasma radiation field, high electromagnetic field, etc.) by means of modern science and technology. You will learn to use such geophysical fields to obtain useful information that is used during exploration, drilling and production of hydrocarbons.
