Master of Science by Coursework in Physics
项目概述
The current Department of Physics can be traced back through a long and rich history: its earliest forerunner was founded in 1904 as Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States Government Medical School. It was renamed to Raffles College in 1929 and established as a proper university as University of Malaya in 1949. After a further renaming to University of Singapore in 1962 and a merger with Nanyang University in the year 1980, the National University of Singapore was established. It is worth mentioning that famous physicists visited the department, such as Paul A. M. Dirac – a
picture of him during a lecture is on display still in the departmental meeting room.
新加坡国立大学物理系历史悠久：它最早成立于1904年，当时是海峡殖民地和联邦马来州政府医学院，于1929年更名为莱佛士学院，1949年更名为马来亚大学。到1962年更名为新加坡大学，在1980年与南洋大学合并，成立了新加坡国立大学。值得一提的是，著名的物理学家都曾经来访过物理系，比如Paul A. M. Dirac–他在演讲期间的照片仍在系会议室展出。
Until around 1990, the department was essentially a teaching department with little research activities. At that time, NUS began to transform itself into a research university. Over these past two decades, tremendous efforts have been made in developing the research capabilities of our department, which is now classified as “research intensive”. Below we list the current major research directions.
直到1990年左右，该系基本上是一个教学部门，几乎没有研究活动。此后新加坡国立大学开始将自己变成一所研究型大学。在过去二十年中，新加坡国立大学在开发物理系研究能力方面做出了巨大努力，现在变成“研究密集型”院系。下面是目前的主要研究方向：
