About the program
Several scientists from around the world share their knowledge about a wide range of topics in the fields of particles and fields, astrophysics, condensed matter physics, atomic, molecular and optical physics, computing, and interdisciplinary knowledge in modern physics.
Each course is divided into five or six lectures, starting from the theoretical foundation, all the way to the forefront of research in the corresponding fields. Lectures, discussions, visits to the facilities and experimental areas, and field trips are also part of the program.
The selected students will find studying in a multidisciplinary and multicultural environment an extremely enriching personal experience.
Candidates of all nationalities are welcome to apply for the program. The applicants are expected to have a good knowledge of English.
The applicants, who are an undergraduate student in physics and should have completed by July 2023 at least two years of fulltime studies at university level, have both a CV and at least one recommendation letters from your lecturers in PDF format requested by sending to sun.y@pku.edu.cn.
The program will provide the admitted students with visa application documents, accommodation on campus, and travel grants.
