Master Physics: Study Content

This Master’s programme is built upon the following points of view:

• Progress in nanoscience and nanotechnology can only be made upon thorough understanding of underlying fundamental nanophysics.
• Studying nanophysics, preparatory for R&D work in nanotechnology, requires a study period of two years.
• Proper training in nanophysics demands access to different visions and different approaches even within the same topics.

To achieve the above goals, our courses in fundamental nanophysics and its applications in material science and quantum technology are combined in a full, two-year Master’s programme, in collaboration with several other scientific institutions.
