Physics, also known as “natural philosophy”, is a natural science that studies the principles of matter, and the motion of matter in space and time.
Physics
Chemistry is the study of change that occurs in our daily life, on the earth and in the universe. Hence, Chemistry is in the center of all human knowledge and studies, commonly recognized as the Central Science. This role renders Chemistry the foundation of all knowledge that we know about nature and bridging with strong connections to almost all branches of physical sciences, biology, medicine, materials and engineering.
Chemistry
Our program of Mathematics is unique from other top institutions in China, for which it emphasizes independent research and potential collaboration. Each year, we have highly talented and motivated young mathematicians joining in the family. Their research interests cover all branches of Mathematics, from algebraic number theory to harmonic analysis. As a result, an atmosphere of opportunities, supports and stimulation has been created.
