Masters and PhD in Physics
About the programme
Understanding of physics from the smallest to largest scales has always led to creation of new technologies, developments, as well as a better sense of our place in the universe. In the Physics Department of Xiamen University Malaysia, we continue to push the boundaries of human knowledge to its very limits, particularly in quantum information, machine learning, solid state physics, nuclear technology, and theoretical physics.
Our Masters (MSc) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) are research-focused programmes designed to produce graduates who are experts in these fields. It is ideal for candidates who have just completed undergraduate degrees in physics, mathematics, engineering, or related fields and are interested in continuing their education and research.
