The goal of 'elite program' is to cultivate top scientific research talents for the future. Since 2016, the School and Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (SIOM, Chinese Academy of Sciences) have jointly established 'elite program' of physics for undergraduates, who will be selected from the newly enrolled freshmen. This program has open enrollment and students will be admitted on a rolling basis. This program equips with professional tutors from the School and SIOM, adopts small class teaching, and implements personalized trainings.

After systematic study of four years, most of the students should have solid scientific foundation for the pursue of the doctor degree for physics and related disciplines.Physics (Basic Program)

This program aims to cultivate excellent talents for physics research in the future. It follows the law of student training, and relies on the teaching faculties and scientific research platforms of the School. This program is devoted to the theoretical teaching, experimental teaching and scientific training for students. This program pays special attention to the training of innovative thinking for scientific researches.

After systematic study of four years, the students can get comprehensive trainings in physics and related disciplines and most of the students should have solid scientific foundation and good scientific literacy, and have basic knowledge and basic skills for the pursue of the master or doctor degree for physics and related disciplines.
