物理学哲学博士

这里的研究生学习为与杰出的教授紧密合作，从事前沿研究项目的学生提供了一个令人振奋的环境。物理学试图理解世界是如何运转的，从原子核内的很小尺度到宇宙中最大的尺度，从物质的最基本成分的行为到许多简单的事物所产生的丰富多样的现象。组件相互作用。我们拥有在所有这些领域中工作的国际认可的研究小组，从软凝聚物和生物物理学到基本粒子物理学和宇宙学，以及对引力波的探索。您可以通过查看我们的个人研究小组页面或写信给各个教职员工了解更多信息，以了解当前可为潜在研究生提供的具体机会。
The Ph.D. in Physics is a research-based degree in which students perform perform significant new research and submit a dissertation on a topic that advances our knowledge of physics.<br><br>Our degree program is structured to quickly transition students from studying physics in the classroom to pursuing independent research under the guidance their faculty mentor.<br><br>When students enter the program, they take a diagnostic quiz that allows us to assess their grounding in undergraduate physics. Students who perform satisfactorily in the quiz will spend one year taking a mixture of 600- and 700-level graduate classes in preparation to take a written qualifying exam at the start of their second year. If the diagnostic quiz uncovers areas where a student may not be prepared for these classes, students can take a mixture of 500-, 600-, and 700- level classes to prepare for the written qualifying exam at the start of their third year. In cases where a student enters the program with an M.S. in Physics, or has otherwise had classes on the material covered by the written qualifying exam, they may take this exam at the beginning of their first year of graduate studies. If they pass, they may request a waiver of the core graduate classes. If they fail, they will be asked to take the courses and retake the exam the following year.
