Physics
The programme in a nutshell
The Master’s programme in Physics is a two-year programme during which you will take compulsory modules in your chosen specialization, plus a number of optional subjects. These options can be general physics subjects or courses drawn from another specialization. The programme also involves writing an essay on a subject which is not directly related to your field of specialization. In your second year, you will join one of the participating research groups. Your research will culminate in a Master’s thesis and a final presentation.
You can choose one of the following tracks:
- Advanced Matter and Energy Physics
- Particle and Astroparticle Physics
- Physics of Life and Health
- Science for Energy and Sustainability
- Theoretical Physics
Structure of the programme
On the Master’s curriculum, you will gain wider knowledge and a deeper understanding of physics in general and of one or more specific areas of physics. The programme consists of the following elements, though the balance will vary depending on whether you take the Research profile or one of the other profiles:
- Optional courses in Physics
- Compulsory courses in chosen specialization
- Essay, student seminar or project (Research profile only)
- Research project
- Presentation and Master’s thesis
- Optional courses (to make up for any deficiencies)
- Additional courses and projects (does not apply to Research profile)
