Courses in Physics

Physics describes the fundamental laws of nature and provides the basis for countless technologies, from electronics to advanced materials, from energy to medicine, from telecommunications to quantum computing. Master's programmes in Physics are aimed at graduates who want to apply the scientific method in industrial, technological and healthcare contexts, or to deepen frontier areas with a high level of innovation.

The programmes include applied physics, medical physics, materials physics, optics and photonics, quantum technologies, nuclear and radiation physics, energy and renewable sources, instrumentation and measurement, modelling and simulation, data science and artificial intelligence, and environmental and atmospheric physics. Lessons combine theory, laboratories and projects with research bodies, hospitals and high-tech companies.

A master's in Physics lets you develop skills in mathematical modelling, data analysis, scientific programming, experimental design and the use of sophisticated instrumentation. You learn to solve complex problems with a rigorous and creative approach, an ability valued in many sectors, including outside traditional research.

Career opportunities include researcher, medical physicist, data scientist, quantitative analyst, optical systems engineer, renewable energy expert, instrumentation technician, radiation protection expert, scientific consultant and scientific software developer. Opportunities exist in hospitals, research centres, technology companies, energy companies, aerospace firms, banks and consulting firms.

Training in physics is also highly valued in finance, IT and industry, where the ability to model complex systems and work with large amounts of data is increasingly in demand.

Many master's programmes include internships and theses at research centres and companies, useful for building a network of contacts and assessing the most congenial career paths.
