We welcome the 2024 undergraduates who are interested in applying for our graduate programs to actively sign up for the camp.


I. Introduction to the School


Southwest Jiaotong University is a research-oriented university directly under the Ministry of Education, which is a national key university under the "Project 211", "Project 985" and "2011 Plan" with a graduate school. It is located in Chengdu, a historic and cultural city and a national center city in China.


The School of Physical Science and Technology of Southwest Jiaotong University has developed from the ordinary physics teaching and research office, the applied physics department, and the college of science since 1948 to the school established in 2006. It has become a school with a certain comprehensive strength that coordinates the development of basic education, scientific research, and discipline construction, integrates science and engineering, and combines basic scientific research with high-tech research and development. The school has an education system that includes undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students. At the undergraduate level, there are two majors: Applied Physics and Electronic Information Science and Technology. At the graduate level, there are two second-level disciplines: Electromagnetic Field and Microwave Technology and Physical Electronics, which belong to the first-level disciplines of Physics and Electronic Science and Technology, respectively. Physics is a doctoral degree authorization unit.


The school has a strong faculty, advanced experimental equipment, diversified research directions, and has trained a large number of scientific and technological talents, who are distributed all over the world. At the same time, the university provides rich scholarships for graduate students, including national scholarships, Yanghua New Talent scholarships, academic scholarships, national student aid, and various special scholarships for graduate students.


Currently, the school has 129 faculty members, including 23 professors (researchers) and 44 associate professors (associate researchers) among the 109 full-time teachers.
