Physics is a natural science, which mainly studies matter, energy, space and time, especially their respective properties and their relationships. Physics is knowledge about the laws of nature; More broadly, physics explores and analyzes what happens in nature to understand its laws.

Physics is based on basic research and applied basic research, and its research fields include condensed matter physics, optics, atomic and molecular physics, plasma physics, theoretical physics, computational physics and so on. , forming a research pattern of materials science, information science, energy science and life science.

The main courses of physics major are: advanced mathematics, mechanics, heat, optics, electromagnetism, atomic physics, mathematical physics methods, theoretical mechanics, thermodynamics and statistical physics, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, solid physics, structure and physical properties, introduction to computational physics, etc.
