The review 委员会 will be instructed to rate the quality of the personal statement (taking into consideration the impact that receiving the scholarship will have on the applicant), CV, letters of recommendation, and provide an overall rating for the 应用程序. Reviewers will be instructed to rate the applicant's accomplishments, as demonstrated in the 应用程序 materials, for a scientist at their career-stage.

 
   
   

 

Master of Science Program

The Master of Science degree in Physics may be earned with thesis or independent study: 

  • 论文: The student’s course of study and thesis topic must be approved by the student’s advisory 委员会. A thesis consists of directed research, and a write-up of the research. An oral defense of the thesis is required. The thesis is an archival document published electronically and kept in the NMT Library.
  • 没有论文: The student’s course of study must be approved by the student’s advisory 委员会. The student’s 委员会 may require additional coursework beyond that listed below. A student who elects to not write a thesis may or may not participate in research, but they typically write a paper on a topic selected with guidance by the advisory 委员会. Unlike a thesis, this paper is not archived electronically by the NMT Library. 

General Requirements

In addition to the general master’s degree requirements, all students enrolled in the Master of Science degree in Physics must satisfy the following course requirements:

  •  All students must complete PHYS 501 (2) and 502 (2) in their first two semesters. 
  •  物理学509 (3) 
  •  PHYS 505 (3) or 521 (3) 
  •  物理学报579 (1); 
  • 研究生-教师 seminar must be taken for the first four semesters. 6学时 chosen from PHYS 508 (3), PHYS 510 (3), PHYS 518 (3)
