In the recent research review by the education funding Committee of the University of Hong Kong, the Department ranked first in materials science and second in physics. At present, there are 16 professors, associate professors and assistant professors in the Department, including 4 APS fellows, 1 AAAs fellow and 1 Mrs fellow. It has the Joint Laboratory of neutron scattering science and technology of Guangdong Province, Hong Kong and Macao, and the Joint Laboratory of Hong Kong City University, Institute of high energy physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. There are about 100 undergraduates and 60 postgraduates. The research topics of this department include: theoretical and computational physics, scattering and imaging physics, atomic molecular and optical physics, low dimensional materials, soft matter and Biophysics, and applied physics.
CityU's Master of Science in Applied Physics provides postgraduate education in applied physics. It has three streams—biomedical physics, physics of energy materials and advanced physics—with courses closely aligned to skills required in relevant job markets. In addition to deepening undergraduate physics knowledge, the programme emphasizes applying physical principles and knowledge to practical professional problems. Its courses suit aspiring engineers and researchers in medical technology, electronics and renewable energy in Hong Kong, mainland China and other parts of Southeast Asia. Besides broadening and strengthening employment skills, the programme helps students apply for and pursue doctoral studies in physics, materials science, electronic engineering and mechanical engineering. (Note: courses in the biomedical physics stream are not offered in 2020/2021.)
The master of Science (Applied Physics) program at City University of Hong Kong offers postgraduate education in Applied Physics. This major includes Biomedical Physics, energy material physics and advanced physics. The courses are closely related to the skills required by the relevant job market. In addition to further deepening the physical knowledge of the undergraduate course, this major focuses on training students to apply physical principles and knowledge to solve practical problems of related professions. The courses offered by this major are suitable for engineers and researchers interested in medical technology, electronics, renewable energy and other fields in Hongkong, China and other Southeast Asian countries. In addition to developing and strengthening the employment skills of students, this major also helps students to apply for and study for doctorates in physics, material science, electronic engineering and mechanical engineering. (Note: courses in Biomedical Physics will not be offered in 2020 / 2021.)

The main aims of CityU's Master of Science in Applied Physics are to develop broad and in-depth physics knowledge and analytical skills; apply physics to propose creative and sound solutions; communicate effectively with professionals in applied physics and engineering technology; apply textbook theories to practical problems; design and conduct experiments and critically analyze and interpret data; identify, formulate and solve engineering or scientific problems in applied-physics subfields and propose innovative ideas; present research findings in a scientifically logical manner; and prepare for doctoral education and careers in frontier scientific research. The programme consists mainly of core courses (18 credits) and electives (12 credits). The core courses (18 credits) are postgraduate-level foundations in applied physics; electives cover general advanced physics, physics of energy materials and biomedical physics. Both full-time and part-time modes are offered. Full-time study normally takes 1–2.5 years, while part-time study normally takes 2–5 years.
Master of Science (Applied Physics), City University of Hong Kong The main objectives of the course are: to acquire extensive and in-depth physical knowledge and analysis skills; to use physical knowledge to propose creative and reasonable solutions; to communicate effectively with professionals related to Applied Physics and engineering technology; to apply textbook theory to practical problems; to be able to design and conduct experiments, and to make critical analysis and interpretation of experimental data; and to apply it in practice Physics related sub fields can identify, explain, solve engineering or scientific problems, and put forward innovative ideas; cultivate a kind of skill to show research results in a scientific and logical way; prepare for the doctoral education and the career engaged in cutting-edge scientific research. Courses mainly include: compulsory subjects (18 credits) + elective subjects (12 credits). Among them, the required subjects (18 credits) are the core courses of graduate level applied physics; the elective subjects are: general higher physics, energy material physics and Biomedical Physics. The courses are divided into two modes: full-time mode and part-time mode. The learning time of full-time mode is generally between 1 year and 2.5 years, while that of Part-time mode is generally between 2 years and 5 years.
