The PhD in Physics at Beihang University (Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics) is a full‑time, research‑focused doctoral programme offered by the School of Physics, which has long‑standing authority to confer doctoral degrees in the first‑level Physics discipline and strong research platforms in both fundamental and applied physical sciences. The school’s doctoral programme usually takes about 3.5–4 years of full‑time study, combining advanced coursework with independent research and an original doctoral dissertation under the supervision of faculty. It is designed to cultivate highly capable researchers with deep theoretical understanding and practical expertise across key physics fields, preparing graduates for academic, research and high‑technology careers. The research environment at Beihang supports a wide range of physics specialisations — spanning extreme condition physics, semiconductor physics, rare isotope and nuclear physics, particle physics, surface and low‑dimensional systems, quantum magnetism and topological physics, among others — with access to national key laboratories, international cooperation bases and interdisciplinary centres that enable both experimental and theoretical work. The programme is open to both domestic and international students, typically requiring a relevant master’s degree, strong academic background and proficiency in English or Chinese suitable for doctoral‑level study, and usually includes options for research in cutting‑edge topics such as condensed matter physics.
