| Education and research cover both
pure and applied physics; they range from small extremes (elementary
particles and atomic nuclei), through intermediate varieties
(quantum-dots, carbon nano-tubes, and semi-conductors), to large
systems (stars and the universe). The department has set up
two advanced courses in Natural Science and Material Science.
Students choose their majors among 7 fields covered by the two
courses: theoretical physics, nuclear physics, and astroparticle
physics of the Natural Science course; and semiconductor physics,
quantum electronics, condensed matter photophysics, and condensed
matter and measurements of the Material Science course. Students
receive detailed guidance to acquire the special experimental
and/or theoretical skills necessary for their majors.
It is our goal to cultivate young people in such a way that
after graduation they are capable of playing an active role
not only in the natural sciences and advanced industrial science
& technologies (especially information and telecommunication),
but also in every possible field of society. Toward this goal,
students take compulsory subjects of basic physics (classical
mechanics, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics) and physics
experiments. These subjects are taught in multiple classes
in order to help individual students master the basic knowledge
and methodology of physics. In addition, graduation research
carried out in labs is defined as a compulsory course as well,
in which students take a whole year to experience one cycle
of planning, conducting, and assessing to acquire the ability
of finding, understanding and solving problems. This practical
and intensive education system is designed to meet the various
needs of society. It also encourages more and more students
to advance to the graduate school for acquiring even higher
levels of knowledge and skills.
