The United States occupies 156 seats, and the top ten are mainly from the United States. The top ten countries are the United States, with seven seats, and the other three are from Britain and Switzerland, namely Oxford University, Cambridge University and Zurich Federal Institute of Technology.
Switzerland has the largest particle physics laboratory in the world, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), which has outstanding performance in the field of natural science, occupying nine seats. China, Britain, Japan, Germany and Canada also performed well, with 63, 59, 53, 465, 438+0 and 26 universities shortlisted respectively.
20 19 the top five schools in the world are all majors in mathematics, physical chemistry.
Princeton University
The goal of physics department of Princeton University is to impart knowledge about the physical world and let students have the thinking of physicists. Physicists can integrate perception, scientific method, approximation and problem-solving ability. The courses of physics department involve more traditional physical knowledge such as engineering, physics, biophysics and computational biology.
In the chemistry department of Princeton University, undergraduate teaching takes the form of small class teaching, and then students enter the advanced thesis project. This project needs to be completed independently. During the whole undergraduate study, professional teachers directly provide care and help to students.
In the Department of Mathematics, Princeton University enrolls about 1400 undergraduates every year. The content of study involves basic mathematical proof, calculus and number theory. Then, get into more complicated topics.
In the United States, many doctoral programs do not involve research at first. However, at Princeton University, graduate students majoring in mathematics began to engage in independent research as soon as they entered school.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
In the past few years, the number of graduates in the field of physics at MIT is second to none in the United States. Its physical scale is quite large, with about 75 faculty members, 300 undergraduates and 300 graduate students. Since 1998, four physics alumni have won the Nobel Prize.
In the physics department, freshmen's courses are promoted by an educational plan called "active learning with technical support".
At MIT, all undergraduates need to study mathematics, and many students choose mathematics as their major or minor. Doctoral study will lead to a doctorate or doctorate-the level is equivalent.
At the postgraduate stage, the department of mathematics will include students in the degree of applied mathematics or pure mathematics. Students majoring in applied mathematics are encouraged to take courses in other departments, such as engineering.
Stanford University
At Stanford University, about half of undergraduates study at least one physics subject during their studies. These courses provide very important training for science and engineering majors. The physics department offers highly specialized courses. In addition, introductory courses are offered for non-technical students.
Chemistry at Stanford University is also very popular. The chemistry department has the direction of chemical physics. This special direction is suitable for students with a deep foundation in mathematics and physics.
In mathematics, Stanford University students can major in or take part-time courses. Besides, I have the opportunity to take part in the annual math contest. Those who achieve excellent results in the competition and those who perform well can get cash rewards. This competition is suitable for female students. )
At the postgraduate stage, Stanford University has many branches in the field of natural science, from applied physics to biophysical chemistry. It takes six years to study for a doctorate.
Harvard University
Every year, excluding chemistry and mathematics related to physics, there are about 50 graduates majoring in physics at Harvard University. The undergraduate course of physics department is flexible. Different from other science majors, physics majors have fewer required courses. Therefore, at Harvard University, many students majoring in physics choose to minor in mathematics, astronomy, history of science or chemistry.
At Harvard University, even undergraduates can do research independently and serve as teaching assistants in some classes.
Harvard University has an active community in social interaction and consultation. There is a freshman fraternity in this community. In recreational activities and extracurricular lectures, students have the opportunity to interact informally with teachers.
In the postgraduate stage, Harvard University's main research in the field of physics includes: high-energy particle physics, atomic and molecular physics, solid and liquid physics, astrophysics, nuclear physics, statistical mechanics, quantum optics, mathematical physics, quantum field theory, string theory and relativity.
University of Cambridge
In the field of natural science, Cambridge University has always had an excellent tradition of teaching and research. Major alumni include isaac newton, james clerk maxwell, ernest rutherford and Stephen Hawking, who died not long ago. In the United States, undergraduates don't announce their majors until they finish their first year of study. But at Cambridge University, undergraduates must apply for a certain major.
The course of natural science in Cambridge University covers most of the disciplines of biology and physics, and from the second year, it is allowed to specialize in physics, chemistry, biology, earth science or other specific disciplines.
In Cambridge University, mathematics is a separate degree, which is usually considered as one of the most difficult majors to learn. Students in this major are affectionately called "mathmos". This major is divided into three parts, from set theory to quantum mechanics.
In the postgraduate stage, the famous Cavendish laboratory in Cambridge is the place where most science students engage in physics research, accepting about 75 students every year. Postgraduate courses in this field include a doctorate in physics and a master's degree in scientific computing, nanoscience and computational methods.
