What do you learn?

The Master Degree Course is structured in compulsory courses, which aim to complete the basic physics preparation, and optional courses aimed at providing graduates with specific skills in one of the following fields of physics; astrophysics, biophysics, physics of materials, physics of complex systems, theoretical physics. The courses take place in the two semesters of the first year and the first semester of the second year. Instead, in the second period of the second year the student prepares their Master's degree thesis, addressing original research problems in one of the research groups of the Department of Physics and Chemistry or even at universities or research institutions abroad.
