Physics
HomepageIntroduction
Contribute to scientific-industrial development through the creative application of scientific thinking. Founded in 1978, the Department of Physics has produced more than 700 graduates. The Master’s degree program was established in 1982, and the Doctorate program was established in 1985. More than 70 graduate students have received their degrees specializing in optics, condensed matter, and nuclear physics.
As physics’ majors, students will learn and practice several important areas of physics, which are the basis for all natural science. The program aims to provide a solid foundation of principles in physics, the means for adapting to the demands of any state-of-the-art facilities and contemporary science and technology industries, and the development of leadership skills needed in industry and the nation.

Vision after Graduation
Graduates of the physics program have attained employment in advanced institutes of technologies in large corporations such as Samsung, LG, and Daewoo. In the public sector, some graduates have made careers in national research institutes like ETRI. Many graduates are currently forging their careers in the Samsung semiconductor, Samsung SDI, HYNIX, LG Techwin, LG IBM, and other medium and small enterprises of optics, electronics, communications, IT, NT, BT. Those graduates who have opted to develop academic careers, have gone on to graduate school in Korea and abroad.
