Master
This master program offers a broad spectrum of courses in physics (see here for an overview) and provides students with an in-depth education in specialized areas, such as particle physics, quantum matter physics, theoretical physics, applied physics or cosmology.
The curriculum and internships offer students the opportunity to work alongside prestigious institutions such as CERN, ESA and NASA. Students acquire a solid foundation in modern physics as well as an exhaustive expertise in their field of specialization. The master's degree opens the way to competitive careers in research as well听 as teaching, industry, finance and more.
Students must choose among the following study programmes (see here for an overview):
- Particle physics听
- Quantum Science and Information听
- Theoretical physics
- Physics of Complex Systems
- Cosmology and Astrophysics of Particles听
You can download the听presentation given at the back-to-school meeting.
It is possible to initially choose more options, and focus on one during the second year.
