The Department of Physics was established in 1968. In the initial stage, there were two research branches, Physics and Earth Science. The Earth Science branch became independent and the Department of Earth Science was founded in 1976. The master program of Physics and Astronomy was established in 1977. In 1992 the Astronomy branch became independent and the Graduate Institute of Astronomy was founded; the master program was renamed as the master program of Physics. The Ph.D. program of Physics and Astronomy was set up in 1986 and renamed as the Ph.D. program of Physics in 2001. In 2004 the Graduate Institute of Biophysics was established to strengthen teaching and research of biophysics and soft-condensed matter physics in the department.
