About University of Electronic Science and Technology of China

University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education of China. UESTC was included as one of the first universities into "Project 211" in 1997, and then the nation's “Project 985” in 2001. In 2017, UESTC was included in Category A of the “World-class University” project. After more than sixty years of development, UESTC now has evolved into a key multidisciplinary university covering all-around programs in electronic disciplines with electronic science and technology as its nucleus, engineering as its major field and a harmonious integration of science, engineering, management, liberal arts and medical science.

About School of Physics

School of physics offers Physics as first level discipline for PhD programs, Master programs and post-doctoral station, which includes subordinate disciplines such as radio physics, optics, plasma physics, condensed matter physics and theoretical physics. Up to 2019, Physics discipline of UESTC is among top 6.1‰ in world ESI ranking.

In the meanwhile, school of physics has undertaken plenty national level research programs including ‘National Science and Technology Major Project’, ‘National Program on Key Basic Research Projects(973 program)’, ‘National High-tech R&D Program of China(863 program)’, ‘International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER project)’, Key Project and International Collaboration Project in ‘National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC)’ and etc..
