Physics (Taught in English)
1. Program Objectives
This program aims to cultivate innovative talents in the field of physics, with solid and broad basic theory, systematic and deep specialized knowledge, and good cultural literacy and comprehensive quality. The graduates will be familiar with the latest developments and issues of the field, can conduct research work independently and achieve innovative performance in science or engineering technology. The specific objectives are as follows:
1. To enable students to achieve a rigorous scholarship, excellent scientific style and academic ethics;
2. Solid foundation of this discipline and the deep professional knowledge;
3. The ability of academic innovation, pioneering and independent research in the field of physical science;
4. An open academic horizon, familiar with the basic theory and knowledge of relevant disciplines, good at cross-penetration with other disciplines in the research work;
5. Obtaining innovative results in science or engineering technology;
6. A good cultural quality and overall quality.
2. Teaching and Learning Approaches and Methods
(1) The graduate students practice the system of co-cultivation of supervisor system and collective training. Usually, the graduate students mainly participate in the academic discussion and daily activities of the supervisor's group, and may also participate in the academic discussion of supervisors in similar disciplines. Students may also choose the direction of other supervisors in the same discipline conduct academic research and write a dissertation.
(2) The teaching of each course is mainly carried out in a thematic form. The teaching methods are heuristic, research-based, discussion-based, self-learning and student-teacher teaching. The teaching methods adopt a combination of tradition and multimedia.
(3) The main form of scientific research and training is to read the literature on the relevant directions, grasp the research methods and frontiers of disciplines, and then put forward the unsolved problems with the supervisor to discuss and carry out research. During the academic year, students are required in principle to attend various academic reports and academic lectures.
