Electromagnetic Field and Microwave Technology

If Shanghai is like New York, then isn’t Shanghai University the New York University of China? Although not as influential as NYU, Shanghai University is still one of China’s best 100 universities. In addition to Mandarin study programs, it is one of the few schools in China that provide 100% English-language MBA programs and attracts over 2000 international students annually.

Shanghai University was founded in May 1994, by consolidating four former institutions of higher learning: Shanghai University of Technology, Shanghai University of Science & Technology, Shanghai Institute of Science & Technology and the former Shanghai University. Until now, SHU has offered English-taught MBA and MIT courses for Master’s degree for international students, which is ranked top one in China. Besides, Chinese Languge couse available there is within easy access. You can pass HSK easily if you study Chinese language in SHU.SHU attracts over 2000 international students annually.

They should be competent in undertaking independent scientific research, and capable of making original contributions to their scientific and technological discipline. 1.3 Candidates must take an active part in physical exercises and keep fit. 1.4 Electromagnetic Fields and Microwave Technology belongs to the high-technological discipline Electronic Science and Technology. Shanghai University is specialized in generation, transmission, radiation, scattering, transformation, and detection of EM waves including optical waves, as well as the theory and applications of interactions between microwaves and optical waves. Doctoral students are required to carry out research in these front line areas or in projects closely related to important applications in the national economy. In this way, candidates will make significant contributions during their study, and be able to carry out creative work independently after graduation. 2. Duration of Study 2.1 The program for regular full-time doctoral candidates lasts three years. 2.2 For those who take a continuous master-doctoral program, the total duration of study range from four and half years to five years. 2.3 Part-time candidates who have a job while pursuing a doctoral degree can extend their study to four and half to five years. 3. Directions of Research 1) Optical fiber technique and applications 2) Microwaves and millimeter waves in wireless communications 3) New techniques in microwave and millimeter measurements 4) Modern antenna theory and techniques 5) Microwave circuits 6) Integration and interactions between microwaves and optical waves 4.
