What is it?

This program provides a formal channel for CUHK physics undergraduate students in the end of Year-1, Year-2 and Year-3 to work in both experimental and theoretical projects in the research groups in our department during the summer (lasts for 8 weeks). Its main purpose is for education of young students. Through this program, we hope to:

1. give students some basic training in practical experimental skills,
2. provide them opportunities to get in touch with current research topics,
3. increase their interest in experimental physics and
4. prepare them for future postgraduate studies.
