Physics is the discipline that studies the most general laws of matter movement and the basic structure of matter. As the leading discipline of natural science, physics studies the most basic forms and laws of movement of everything from the universe to small particles, so it has become the research basis of other natural science disciplines.

China's top disciplines
Graduates of applied physics majors are engaged in scientific research, teaching, technology development and related management in the field of physics or related science and technology. Scientific research work includes research and application of frontier physical issues, and technical development work includes new characteristics of physical applied materials such as semiconductors, and development of applied instruments such as medical instruments, biological instruments, and scientific research instruments. The scope of employment of the applied physics specialty covers the entire field of physics and engineering. It integrates physics theory and practice into one and penetrates into multiple disciplines.
Students in applied physics who have a solid foundation in physics theory and application experience can become experts in many fields of engineering technology. About 12,000 professionals in undergraduate applied physics are trained in China each year. The majors that intersect with this major include physics, engineering physics, semiconductor and materials. In terms of talent demand, China's demand for talents in applied physics is still in short supply. [5]
Training objectives
