Development Characteristics
Physics is exciting, intellectually challenging, and rewarding. Physics research covers a
vast array of subjects, ranging from small nuclear particles to the evolution of nature and
earth. It aims to understand our daily interactions with sound, light, magnetism,
electricity, heat, etc. All research on the physical nature of these topics have provided
humankind with a clearer understanding of space, material structure, and the evolving
“chaotic” theory. Hence, physics plays a vital role in our daily lives.
Physics is closely tied to many other fields, such as electrical engineering, computer
science, materials science, mechanical engineering, space engineering, civil engineering,
chemistry, biotechnology, environmental studies, etc. We offer general physics courses to
all undergraduates at the College of Science and College of Engineering. We also offer
courses with affiliated departments, notably Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics,
Applied Chemistry and the Institute of Biotechnology. These course offerings include
solid state physics, laser theory, statistical physics, physical mathematics, atomic theory,
spectrum analysis, polymer physics, biophysics, etc.
Department of Applied Physics at NUK was established in year 2002 and started to offer
Master degree programs in year 2007. Our department is closely research-collaborated
with correlated departments in National Sun Yat-Sen University, National Cheng Kung
University, National Kaohsiung Normal University and I-Shou University in southern
Taiwan. Physical research in our department gives priority to three fields:
nanotechnology, optoelectronics, and magnetic and semiconductors. Both experimental
and theoretical aspects of research are emphasized.
Goals
The Department is strongly committed to research in applied physics and the
development of frontier technologies. Thus, the multidisciplinary undergraduate program
aims to provide undergraduates with both fundamental knowledge and solid experimental
experiences. Our faculty’s research is in many emerging fields, including magnetic and
semiconductors, optoelectronic materials, nanoscience and nanotechnology. We also
initiate close collaborations with industry that have provided students and faculty
opportunities to contribute to product research and development.
The physics program at NUK gives students a deep foundation of knowledge and
problem-solving ability on which they can build a variety of careers. Students are
encouraged to participate in ongoing research projects. With the liberal arts education at
NUK, students leave NUK with not only a complete physics foundation but also technical
skills and management ability in preparation to be future leaders.

Postgraduate Opportunities
 Advanced Degree Study
1. Pursuing advanced degrees at graduate schools in Taiwan or abroad.
2. Teaching for high school, technical school, middle school, and elementary school
(education credits are needed)
3. Doing academic research at universities, colleges, Industrial Technology Research
Institute (ITRI), or Academia Sinica.
 Career Opportunities
Reflecting the diversity of careers available to our students, the Department provides
career counseling and initiates collaborations with high-tech industries and corporations
(for example, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Advanced
Semiconductor Engineering (ASE, Inc), United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC),
etc.).
Future Outlook
Based on emerging technologies, such as magnetic semiconductors, opto-electronic
semiconductors, nanoscience and nanotechnology, we will incorporate both societal
needs and research resources into developing a mid- and long-term research and
development plan.
