Enrollment Process View recruitment guideline for 2020

1.Documental Screening

The enrollment committee of the physics department screens students based on academic achievements, self-introduction, and research proposals.
It is imperative that doctoral candidates first consult with professors of interest.

2. Character evaluation or a major oral examination

All students are selected by either character evaluation or a major oral examination
Major oral examination for MS& Ph.D. integrated course consists of classical mechanics, electrodynamics and quantum mechanics. Basic concepts and their applications will be tested.
Major oral examination for Ph.D. course consists of evaluation of his/her master degree thesis, and their potentials as researchers.
The graduate committee of the department will discuss on the admittance of students and the decision will be confirmed at the regular professors’ meetings.
