Since its establishment, the department has cultivated a total number of 4424 graduates and 128 post graduates.

Three majors are available for MSC, i.e. Optics, Course and Teaching Theory, History of Science and Technology (History of Physics). In addition, majors of Communication and Information System are also available for new students.

Under the department, there are currently Teaching & Research Section of General Physics, Teaching & Research Section of Theoretical Physical, Teaching & Research Section of Experimental Physics, Teaching & Research Section of Teaching and Optical Academic Institution and Research Section of Natural Science History. It also possesses teaching labs and over 10 types of scientific research labs, namely, General Physics Lab, Contemporary Physics Lab, Demonstration Lab, Middle-school Physics Lab as well as two computer rooms (140 seats totally), which is capable of satisfying needs in teaching and students' outside learning and activities. To satisfy the requirement of professional teaching and research in Optical Information Science and Technology, construction of optical information technology lab, sensing technology lab, laser technology lab, communication technology lab and auto electronic design lab are underway to offer instruction and practice sites for students.

The Department of Physics possesses teaching and research sections involving General Physics, Theoretical Physics, Experimental Physics, Physical Teaching Methodology and Physics History, teaching labs and 10 plus scientific research labs regarding general physics experiment, contemporary physics experiment and physical demonstration experiment as well as a reading room, two computer rooms. Particularly, Nanometer Optical Electronic Lab is a key lab at Beijing Municipality level.


During the 9th Five Year Plan, the department has obtained 31 items of provincial and municipal-level scientific research subjects, applied to get RMB 2.5 million yuan for doing scientific research and published more than 200 essays and more than 10 treatises.
