International Students

One year

19 credits

Required courses:

• Quantum Mechanics (I)
• Four Seminar
• Academic Research Ethics Education

Required elective courses:

• Choose two from Quantum Mechanics (II), Electrodynamics (I), Classical Mechanics, Statistical Mechanics (I), Solid State Physics (I), Particle Physics and Cosmology, Advanced Quantum Mechanics.
• Choose one from Electrodynamics (II), Molecular Physics (I), Statistical Mechanics (II), Solid State Physics (II), Advanced Solid State Physics (I), Quantum Field Theory (I) (II), Introduction to Cosmology, Biophysics, Semiconductor Physics and Devices (I)(II), Semiconductor Process and Technology, Optical properties of solids, Physical Optics.

•  Take four seminars, with all grades higher than the passing grade. Students whose study period is shorter than four semesters do not need to follow this regulation, but they should complete and pass the seminar for each semester during the master’s program.
• Students should study “Academic Ethics Education” program before the end of the first semester after enrollment. Students who fail to pass the final test cannot apply for degree exam.
• Unless the required or required elective courses are not offered by Institute of Physics in the current academic year or under the approval of the Curriculum Committee, students should not select courses outside of Institute of Physics.
