The Fundamental and Applied Physics Program is jointly offered by the Department of Physics in the School of Science and the Department of Physical Science and Engineering in the School of Engineering. The program is designed to allow early exposure to specialized scientific fields and to cultivate well-balanced individuals through broad-based education and professional knowledge. On the firm base of fundamental physics that will be taught in the first years, the program enables students to acquire a deep understanding in their majors of various fields in physics and technology.

After finishing the first year of basic physics, students choose from a variety of majors, including Astrophysics, Elementary Particle Physics, Condensed Matter Physics and Biophysics. Courses offered in the second and third years include Analytical Mechanics, Statistical Physics, Electricity and Magnetism, Quantum Mechanics, Mathematical Physics, Physics Tutorials, Physics Experiments, and Physics Seminars. In their final year, students in the School of Science are required to major in a specialized field of either theoretical or experimental physics. Subjects of research in physics extend to infinity, ranging from the micro world to the distant expanses of outer space: Elementary Particle Physics and Physics of Gravity; Astrophysics; Physics of Superconductors, Semiconductors, Magnetic materials, and Dielectric materials; and Biophysics.
