Physics at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) is an academically rigorous and research-oriented discipline housed within the Department of Physics — one of the earliest established departments at the university. Founded in 2011, the department is committed to providing first-class education and cutting-edge research in both theoretical and applied physics, offering a complete academic pathway from bachelor’s through doctoral and post-doctoral studies in physics and applied physics.

The physics program emphasizes a strong foundation in core physical principles together with opportunities to engage in frontier research areas such as quantum transport and regulation, surface and materials physics, computational physics, condensed matter theory, optics, quantum information, and quantum computing. The department is also expanding into fields like astrophysics, particle physics, and biological physics, reflecting its dynamic research profile.

With a diverse and internationally experienced faculty—including multiple academicians and distinguished scholars—the department supports high-impact research, substantial scientific funding, and a large body of publications in top physics journals. Students benefit from access to state-of-the-art laboratories and research platforms, hands-on experimental training, and mentorship that prepares them for advanced research, innovation, and technology development.

Undergraduate programs typically focus on both Physics and Applied Physics, nurturing students with solid scientific knowledge, analytical skills, and interdisciplinary capabilities to address contemporary scientific and technological challenges. Graduate and postgraduate studies delve deeper into specialized theoretical and experimental topics, fostering the next generation of researchers and innovators in physics and related high-tech fields.
