    About 물리학과

    Tuition costs 7,680,000 KRW per year.

    Physics is the study of matter, energy, and the fundamental forces that govern the universe, spanning scales from subatomic particles to astronomical systems. Students in this field study classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics, along with more specialized areas such as condensed matter physics, optics, or particle physics, depending on their research focus. Coursework typically combines theoretical study with experimental or computational methods used to test physical models and analyze data. Graduates often pursue careers as research physicists, data analysts, engineers, or continue toward doctoral study and academic careers in physics or related scientific fields. This master's program in Physics is offered by Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) in Ulsan, South Korea. It runs over four semesters, with intakes available in March and August, and instruction is delivered in English. Students typically hold undergraduate degrees in physics or a closely related quantitative field, and use the graduate program to develop advanced research skills in a specific subfield through coursework and thesis research under faculty supervision. Graduate study in physics generally involves close engagement with ongoing research, whether through laboratory experiments, theoretical modeling, or computational simulation, and students work alongside faculty on active research questions. UNIST's research infrastructure supports study across multiple areas of physics, giving students access to specialized equipment and expertise. As physics research continues to inform advances in materials science, energy technology, and computing, graduate training in this field prepares students for research careers in academia, national laboratories, and industry, as well as further study toward a doctoral degree.
