The mission of the graduate program in the Physics Department
at Kyung Hee University is to discover new things in nature.
Faculty members and graduate students conduct very active
research with focus on fundamental aspects of physics such
as theoretical particle physics and more applied aspects such
as experimental semiconductor physics. We also have the largest
cluster of computers for research in complex systems. Noticeable
are the joint research activities with neighboring institutions
such as Korea Institute of Science and Technology and Korea
Institute of Advanced Studies. More specifically students
are trained to be active in the following fields after graduation:
research and developments of semiconductor devices, information
display, digital communication, space science, and medical
instruments. Others are trained to become researchers and
educators of theoretical physics.
1) At least 24 course units of graduate level credit in Physics
courses are required for the master's degree and 64 course
units for the doctor's degree (including units completed in
master course).
2) Students have to pass a qualifying examination.
3) Students must acquire a minimum English proficiency test
score of TOEIC 700 for the master's degree, 800 for the doctor's
degree.
4) Students must fulfill presentation, defense, and document
requirements for the Physics thesis committee.
5) A thesis advisor can be any faculty member from the Physics
department.
