Applied Physics
Master
Applied Physics is rooted in the fundamental truths and basic laws that describe the world around us. You will focus on using scientific principles in practical devices and systems, and on the application of physics in other fields. A great deal of the work done by physicists is not immediately visible. But without breakthroughs in physics, the mobile phone and the laptop would have been power-guzzling machines that weigh a ton, and lab-on-a-chip technology would still be science fiction. At the University of Twente, we focus on Applied Nanophotonics, Nano Electronic Materials, Physics of Fluid, Soft Matter and Energy, Materials & Systems. The Master's in Applied Physics will expand your knowledge of physics, providing deeper insights into a specific field of research of your choice. You will have the opportunity to tailor your programme to suit your individual interests. The Physics faculty at our university is one of the best in the world: you will benefit from cutting-edge, high-tech lab facilities, for example at the renowned MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology. As an applied physicist, you will have many different career options. For example, you might pursue a career in research or a career in management, or manufacturing.

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.
