- Description/content
- The Master of Science programme in physics provides a profound, research-oriented education in physics as well as a general knowledge of the most relevant scientific methods. The main goals of physics are to gain a deep understanding of the universe at its most fundamental levels and to extend such knowledge to more complicated systems ranging from the subatomic to the cosmological scale. Physics can then be considered the basis for all natural sciences and the bearing structure of any modern technological development.
This is well reflected in our Master's programme in physics, which prepares graduates for careers in research and teaching at the university level or research in industrial laboratories. Students enrolling in the two-year Master's programme will broaden their previous background in general physics and will be supported in carrying out their first independent research project in one of our specialisation areas:
• biophysics and soft matter
• condensed matter physics and nanoscience
• econophysics
• plasma physics
• quantum information and technologies
Students graduating from our Master's degree programme in physics:
• have a deep knowledge of methods and techniques relevant for the chosen specialisation area
• are ready to work in a cutting-edge international research environment
• have learned to plan, set up and conduct a research project
• know how to model a physical system both numerically and analytically
• have developed key skills such as the ability to work in a team and communication skills
We are looking for very motivated and above-average students who are willing to go beyond the standard class experience and make the most of our flexible programme.
