The physics program began enrollment in 1982 and established the Optoelectronics specialization in 2014. Adhering to the national "Strong Foundation Initiative" and leveraging our university's undergraduate teaching advantages, the program cultivates application-oriented talents with firm ideals and convictions, "excellent moral character, solid foundational knowledge, strong capabilities, and high quality". Graduates will possess robust foundations in physics and optoelectronics, sound scientific literacy, practical competence, and strong innovative and collaborative skills, enabling them to pursue advanced studies in physics, optoelectronics, or related disciplines or engage in scientific research and independent R&D in these fields.
Rooted in fundamental physics while developing specialized directions, the program has forged distinctive features of "solid physical foundation, strong practical abilities, and advanced optoelectronic skills". It reinforces basic knowledge education across all seven core knowledge areas and 24 key units of physics disciplines to ensure "comprehensive foundational training". With practical education accounting for 33.72% of curriculum hours, the program enhances students' innovative and practical capacities through "practice-oriented pedagogy". The optoelectronics specialization has been refined through annual participation in competitions, yielding over 10 yearly awards, achieving "distinctive specialization strengthening".
The program boasts well-equipped facilities, including physics and optoelectronics laboratories, with a total research equipment value exceeding 30 million RMB. Over the past three years, the average postgraduate enrollment rate reached 49%, with 70% admitted to 985 universities and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and 90% enrolled in 985/211 universities or CAS institutions.
