Physics
(Applied Physics, Opto-electronics Information Science and Engineering)
Category Profile:
Physics is an undergraduate major of School of Physics and Optoelectronics in South China University of Technology. It belongs to the first-level discipline of Physics and includes two major directions: Applied Physics and Opto-electronics Information Science and Engineering (Optoelectronic Information). The college has a doctoral program and postdoctoral program in the first-level discipline of Physics, a doctoral program and a postdoctoral program in the second-level discipline of Physical Electronics. The discipline of Physics entered the top 1% of the international ESI global ranking in 2011, and was approved as a key discipline of Guangzhou in 2018.
Education Characteristics:
The major of Physics will build a comprehensive physics course platform for students, consolidate the physics foundation, promote students' all-round growth, meet the individualized and diversified development needs, and lay the foundation for the long-term development of students. Through the rigorous training of the further major education system in Applied Physics or Opto-electronics Information Science and Engineering, we will cultivate the Three creations (innovation, creation, entrepreneurship) undergraduate talents that adhere to the socialist road with Chinese characteristics, develop morality, intelligence, physique, aesthetics and labor in an all-round way, have solid basic theories and basic knowledge, have strong professional practice ability, and have a Family-country emotion and a global vision.
Education Directions:
After confirming the major, the students enter the major education stage. There are two major education channels in Physics. The majors are:
1. Applied Physics
2.Opto-electronics Information Science and Engineering (Optoelectronic Information)
