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.

The physics teaching Program aims to cultivate the teachers for the middle-schools with a noble morality, a dedication to education, a solid scientific foundation, an excellent creativity, and the ability on teaching, management skills as well as continuous self-development, to meet the needs of the teachers of basic education in the future.After four years of training, the students should have the all-round development of moral, intellectual, physical and aesthetic grounding, a hard-working spirit, and should commit to the basic education.

This program relies on the advantages of physics, optics, electronic information and technology, materials and other disciplines (materials discipline has been in the top 1% of ESI for many years). It takes optics, electrics, information science and new energy science as the core, takes laser processing, intelligent system and micro-nano devices as the power, aims at the cutting-edge of science and national needs of technology, and cultivates materials scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs with wide caliber, good scientific foundation, strong innovation awareness and practical ability, social responsibility and broad international vision. This program is among key development fields of Shanghai.

Optoelectronic Information Science and Engineering is a new undergraduate program established under the background of the rapid development of the Internet of Things, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence technologies, and the Moore's Law bottleneck of traditional integrated circuits technology. This program covers the fundamental theories and applications of optoelectronic information processing, photodetection, optoelectronic display, lighting, photovoltaics, optical communication, optical information storage, optical computing technology and optoelectronic system design. It aims to cultivate students with innovative consciousness, broad knowledge and practical skills. They will become qualified professionals capable of scientific research, technology development and application, product design and manufacturing, and operation management in the fields of optoelectronic information detection, storage, processing, transmission and display technology and etc.

After graduation, the students can enter the professions related to the optoelectronic display, lighting, photodetection, optical communications, optoelectronic measurement and control, laser processing, photovoltaics, information storage and artificial intelligence. Candidate companies include Huawei, BOE, Samsung, LG, Hanergy, JA Solar, Intel, Qualcomm, IBM, Freescale, Huahong, etc. Aspiring students can continue to pursue master and doctoral degrees in electronic engineering, optoelectronic engineering, optical engineering, communication and information systems and other related disciplines.

The undergraduate study of this program takes usually four years. After completing all the courses, the student will be awarded a bachelor degree in engineering.
