Introduction

Physics explores the principles and laws that serve as the fundamentals of natural phenomena, and its targets extend over a broad range, from elementary particles to the cosmos, artificial substances, and living organisms/environment. Based on the spirit of the university's foundation of the "advancement of science," the Department of Physics opens its doors widely to young people and working people who wish to study in the evening.

• Organization of a curriculum that organically combines lectures, labs and discussions, where students can systematically learn a wide range of subjects, from basic physics to applied physics.
• In order to be able to support extraordinary developments in science and technology in recent years, students systematically learn the mechanisms of physical phenomena, which serve as the fundamentals of science and technology, starting with the basics.
• Cultivate human resources who have the capability to conquer any problem they are directly faced with and who have abundant creative capacities, by acquiring the ability to think about physical things as well as a flexible capacity for thinking.
• Aim to foster not only people who can achieve success in broad sectors such as the industrial arena and educational world, but people who can achieve success in various research fields as well, and human resources who possess comprehensive and broad knowledge and advanced expertise that enable then to pave the way for science and technology in the 21st century, which continues to diversify.
