THE SUMMARY
The School of Physical Sciences of USTC is aiming at culturing the first-class scientists with focus on scientific creation and compound talents with profound physical quality. Among the graduates of the school, 15 of them have been selected as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and 30 of them selected as members of the American Physical Society, occupying the first place among the graduates of the same period in domestic universities and colleges. Since 2000, totally 9 doctoral theses have been selected into national top 100 excellent doctoral theses, with awarded percentage ranking first nationwide. Among undergraduates, about 80% or above of them are admitted to graduate schools both at home and abroad, in which about 40% of them are enrolled into foreign graduate schools. Among others, considerable amounts of graduate students are enrolled by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University and other world famous universities for doctoral degrees. Whether it is the percentage of students who have selected science as life-long careers ultimately, or their outstanding contribution in scientific creation, the graduates from the School of Physics are second to none among domestic schools...
