BA/BS in Applied Physics

Applied Physics at Northwest University, offered through its School of Physics, trains students in the foundations of physics together with confident laboratory skills. Study covers optics, optoelectronic technology, electronics and microcomputer interfaces, with an emphasis on practical engineering ability. The programme is aimed at producing application-oriented researchers. Graduates are prepared to take up scientific research, teaching, technology development and management in areas such as photoelectric sensing devices, laser devices and their uses, optoelectronic detection and processing, circuit design and photonic integration. The page presents the major as one that connects theory, experiment and engineering practice, making it suited to students who want a physics degree with a clear applied and technical direction rather than a purely theoretical one. The programme is taught on the Northwest University campus in Xi'an, Shaanxi. Mainland applicants enter through the national gaokao system, and prospective students should check the undergraduate admissions office for current subject requirements, score lines and enrolment plans.
