Your subject presentation as a face-to-face event
The Master’s in Physics focuses on providing students with a scientific education.
In the first year of study, there are core modules – with a limited range of options – in the three areas of experimental physics, applied physics and theoretical physics, which deepen students’ understanding of the fundamentals and must be taken by all students. The same applies to the advanced practical course.
In addition, there are numerous specialisation and elective modules in the fields of quantum optics, solid-state physics, computer-based statistical and biological physics, physics of renewable energies, acoustics, signal processing, machine learning, medical physics and cosmology, each of which provides an introduction to research at the highest international level.
The second year of study is then devoted to preparing and carrying out the Master’s thesis within a research group specialising in one of the aforementioned areas.
During the session held as part of the orientation week, an overview of the course structure and the main areas of research will be provided. Attention will also be drawn to the possibility of funding stays abroad through the Erasmus+ programme. There will, of course, be an opportunity to ask questions.
