PHD

Study Mode

On Campus

The study of physics aims to gain a comprehensive and unified understanding of natural phenomena. Therefore, it is not only the foundation of natural science, but also encompasses a wide range of fields, including astrophysics, condensed matter physics, atomic physics, and nuclear physics. Due to the increasing advancement of technology and complexity of academic fields, the study of applied physics has become important, along with fundamental physics. It is difficult to learn these broad fields adequately only in undergraduate courses, so graduate programs play an increasingly important role. In the Physics Division, students master the fundamentals of classical and modern physics. Through the deep study of specific scientific research topics, students are encouraged to cultivate their originality and experience the essence of innovative learning and the joy of discovery through research and research guidance.

Curriculum

In the Master’s Program, students aim to acquire a broad knowledge and skills in research approach and ideas, originality, and advanced basic studies. Students in this program tend to receive more job offers than those with undergraduate degrees in terms of employment. Career paths after graduation are diverse and many graduates are actively working in a variety of fields, including manufacturing, information, and communication.

In response to the increasing number students wishing to enter graduate school each year, we are striving to establish a system that provides more opportunities for students to receive advanced education and develop research skills. In the Doctoral Program, students aim to conduct more advanced research based on the knowledge they gained in the Master’s Program providing graduates great employment opportunity without much difficulty.
