The Peking University Summer School International 2024 on Fundamental Physics offers students pursuing bachelor’s degrees in physics a unique opportunity to attend a series of courses specially prepared at Peking University in Beijing, China.
The Peking University Summer School International 2024 on Fundamental Physics is a collaborative effort between the School of Physics (PKU), the Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics (PKU), and the Beijing Institute of Modern Physics. The program will be held at PKU from August 1st to August 9th, 2024, and is designed for Chinese and international advanced undergraduate students and first-year graduate students who have a strong aptitude and passion for physical sciences.
Several scientists from around the world share their knowledge about a wide range of topics in the fields of particles and fields, astrophysics, condensed matter physics, atomic, molecular and optical physics, computing, and interdisciplinary knowledge in modern physics. A high-level teaching and training on key topics nonlinear and ultrafast optics, plasmonic, and optics with metamaterials will be provided by means of tutorial talks. Lectures, discussions, visits to the facilities and experimental areas, and field trips are also part of the program. The selected students will find studying in a multidisciplinary and multicultural environment an extremely enriching personal experience.
Candidates of all nationalities are welcome to apply for the program. The applicants, who are an undergraduate student in physics and should have completed by July 2024 at least two years of fulltime studies at university level, have both a CV and at least one recommendation letters from your lecturers in PDF format requested through the website. The applicants are expected to have a good knowledge of English.
The program will provide the admitted students with visa application documents, accommodation on campus, and travel grants.
Application deadline: 12 noon CST on 30 June 2024.
