国际学生入学条件
All official Transcripts. A bachelor's degree or its foreign equivalent from an accredited college or university. Official transcripts of your grades. Three letters of recommendation. Applicants are required to upload a transcript (may be unofficial at this time) including the key from all attended colleges or universities.The transcript must show the name of the student, name of the issuing institution, name of courses taken, and the grades received in those courses. The Graduate School does not have a minimum TOEFL or IELTS score requirement. If you are offered admission and accept our offer and have scored below a 27 on the Speaking sub-section of the TOEFL iBT or below an 8.0 on the Speaking sub-section of the IELTS you will be required to take an English placement test at the start of the fall term. Students who do not pass the test will be required to enroll in English Language Program classes.
GRE :
General Test optional/not required, Physics Subject Test optional/not required
ADDITIONAL DEPARTMENTAL REQUIREMENTS:
Applicants must indicate at least one choice from a menu of Department's current Areas of Research – see the Department of Physics website Research(link is external) section for descriptions of the research areas and the current activities in each. The Statement of Purpose is a good opportunity to clarify research interests. The Department of Physics notes that it is not necessary to describe how an applicant developed an interest in Physics. Applicants are typically best served by devoting the statement to a description of their research background and interests. However, applicants with unusual or compelling paths are welcome to describe their experiences. In any case, the Statement of Purpose should focus on an applicant's specific research interests at Princeton and any relevant research experience.

课程简介
Working closely with the experimental group, we use astrophysical, particle physics and string theory combined with observations to study gravitation and the origin and evolution of our universe. In cosmology and astrophysics, Einstein's General Theory of Relativity (GR) is the foundation for everything from models of the universe to the collision of black holes. Our group is a pioneer in the use of numerical GR to understand such things as the gravitational wave signature of merging black hole and neutron star systems, the properties of spacetime and matter fields approaching the big bang , and elements of string theory. The study of the nature of large-scale structure was pioneered in this group three decades ago, and we continue to make leading contributions to theories of the origin of this structure. Crucial elements in the work include the measurements by the experimental group of the 2.725 K thermal background radiation, deep observations of galaxies, and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey that operates out of the neighboring Department of Astrophysical Sciences.
