Natural Science

Each year, about 30-40 students start their studies within our MSc in Physics programme. As a MSc student here, you will have the chance to acquire specialized knowledge within the following areas: (i) fundamental physics research, including theory as well as experiment, (ii) applied physics, with the focus on materials science and applied optics, (iii) nuclear technology, and (iv) medical physics. Directions (i) and (ii) are coordinated by the Institute of Physics, whereas (iii) and (iv) by the Institute of Nuclear Techniques. The two major components of the programme are the courses (mainly lectures and lab courses), and the research activity leading to the MSc thesis. Your first year will be dominated by the courses, whereas the MSc thesis work will be carried out during the second, third and fourth semesters. The research during your MSc studies could already lead to scientific publications in recognized international journals, helping you in starting your academic career. To conclude your MSc studies at the end of the second year, you will take a final exam, and submit and defend your MSc thesis.
