At Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), Applied Physics is an undergraduate degree program offered by the Department of Physics that bridges fundamental physics and practical technological applications. This discipline focuses on applying the laws and principles of physics to develop new technologies, functional materials, and solutions to engineering challenges that underpin modern industries such as semiconductors, lasers, superconductors, aerospace, and energy systems. Rather than focusing solely on theoretical concepts, the program trains students to connect physics fundamentals with real-world problems and to work at the interface of physics with fields like materials science, electrical engineering, and information technology. SUSTech’s location in Shenzhen — a major high-tech hub — and its research-intensive environment provide students with opportunities to engage in cutting-edge scientific work and innovation. The program aims to cultivate graduates who can conduct research, contribute to technology development, and pursue advanced study or careers in applied science and high-tech industries.

NOTE: The university may have additional program-specific eligibility requirements. It is recommended to verify these on the official university website.
