Master course setting

The training objectives of master students in space physics are: to cultivate excellent students with solid professional theoretical basic knowledge, systematically master basic scientific research skills and scientific thinking, understand the progress of frontier research in the discipline, be able to engage in scientific research activities or undertake professional and technical work, and abide by basic academic norms and ethics. The development trend of contemporary space physics is the interdisciplinary integration of multiple disciplines, and it is difficult for a single discipline to solve major scientific problems. According to the development needs of the discipline, in addition to mastering the theoretical basis, research methods and practical operation ability of the core courses of this discipline, master students of space physics should also study the basic courses related to earth science, understand the principles and main methods of related disciplines, and lay a solid foundation for the training of higher -level talents.
