Physics is an International Master’s Degree that prepares students to a[[rpacj the main areas of modern physics. Graduates acquire cutting-edge theoretical, experimental, and computational skills, together with strong transferable skills that are particularly valued in the job market.

The programme trains professionals capable of pursuing a scientific career both in high-technology industrial sectors and in research and teaching. The degree programme is delivered entirely in English, fostering students’ international mobility through exchange programmes and welcoming visiting professors from prestigious foreign universities.

The educational pathway is organised into three highly flexible curricula and is supported by a broad range of courses, allowing students to design a personalised study plan, with the possibility of updating it at the end of each semester.

The study programme can be enriched by participating in Erasmus+ programmes. The excellence track, in collaboration with the Graduate School in Physics and Nanoscience, and participation in the SUGAR projects allow students to complement their education with advanced research knowledge and to establish direct contacts with the industrial sector.

Physics boasts a high faculty-to-student ratio and has received very positive feedback from students in course evaluation surveys.
