Physics
Master
Do you want to explore what nature is made of at the fundamental level? What are the elementary particles and fundamental forces that govern the Universe? Or the role of dark energy and dark matter in cosmic evolution? Can we use a many-body approach to describe light absorption in a solar cell? Are quantum phenomena responsible for DNA mutation? And how can we explain superconductivity in carbon?
The Master's degree programme in Physics is open to students with a solid background in physics who are eager to expand their knowledge and experience in a modern physics research environment. The goal of the Master of Physics is to train excellent researchers in the field of materials science, subatomic physics, isotope physics, or theoretical physics.
The programme offers the following tracks:
* Quantum Universe
* Advanced Materials
* Science, Business and Policy

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.
