Bachelor in Department of Applied Science (Applied Physics Division)

Tuition fees are 101,180 TWD per year.

The Department of Applied Science, Applied Physics Division, at National Taitung University covers undergraduate study in applied physics, a discipline that uses the principles of physics to address practical scientific and technological problems. As a bachelor's degree program, it typically introduces students to subjects such as classical mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, optics, quantum physics, and laboratory methods for measuring and analyzing physical phenomena. Coursework often combines theoretical study with hands-on laboratory experiments that build skills in experimental design, instrumentation, and data analysis. Applied physics differs from purely theoretical physics in its emphasis on using physical principles to solve concrete problems in areas such as materials science, electronics, optics, and energy systems. Students in this division typically gain a strong grounding in mathematics and experimental physics, along with exposure to how physical principles are applied in technology development and engineering contexts. Graduates of applied physics programs pursue careers as laboratory technicians, research assistants, materials or optics specialists, and roles in technology and manufacturing industries that require a strong physical science background. Some graduates continue to graduate study in physics, materials science, or engineering, while others move into technical roles in electronics, renewable energy, or scientific instrumentation industries. National Taitung University, located in Eastern Taiwan, offers this bachelor's degree program in English, providing international students with a foundation in applied physics within a region of Taiwan known for its natural landscape, offering a distinct academic setting outside the country's more urbanized areas.
