Applied Physics
Master
Can you build electronic systems that are almost as energy efficient as the neurons in our brains? Or encryption technology that makes credit card payments impossible to crack? What about making solar panels more efficient, or medical imaging techniques faster and more accurate? What opportunities could a quantum computer offer? How fast are icebergs melting, and what does turbulence have to do with this? These questions cannot be answered without an understanding of the laws of physics. In this Master’s, you will combine fundamental physics with engineering and develop strong analytical skills to find technical solutions to complex problems across various areas. The physics department of the University of Twente belongs to the top of the world. After graduation, you will have great career opportunities in areas such as electronics, high-tech manufacturing and the chip industry, healthcare, IT, consultancy, sustainable energy technology, semiconductor, space, agriculture, or finance.

The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a student-centred system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a programme of study. Its aim is to facilitate the recognition of study periods undertaken by mobile students through the transfer of credits. The ECTS is based on the principle that 60 credits are equivalent to the workload of full-time student during one academic year.
