About this course
Master in Science in Physics (International Study), a physics degree centred on understanding the fundamental laws of the universe. Core topics include Data Analysis and Statistics. The programme incorporates a year spent studying abroad at an international partner institution. The first year establishes fundamental mathematical and experimental competencies through Mathematics for Physicists 1, Classical Mechanics and Relativity, and Physics Laboratory 1. The second year continues this technical training with Mathematics for Physicists 2, Statistical Physics and Optics, and Physics Laboratory 2. The third year is spent studying physics abroad. The final year involves advanced theoretical and applied study culminating in the Year 4 Physics Project, alongside optional modules such as Advanced Condensed Matter, Advanced Particle Physics, and Applied Optics.
