Master's programme in Physics

Master's programme in Physics is a 2 years Masters program taught at University of Milan, Milan, Italy. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options. To successfully obtain Master's programme in Physics from University of Milan you are required to complete 120 credit hours. After completion of Master's programme in Physics you will be able to further continue for advance studies or start career as Physicist.

The aim given to the Master's course in Physics is to enable the graduate student to either continue with further studies or to take part in research or professional activity with the necessary competence, having learnt the use of scientific methods and experimental basis, theoretical and mathematical, on which physics is based.
The Master's degree course will enable the student to deepen acquired knowledge in classic physics, relativity and quantum physics as regards to phenomenological aspects, theoretical aspects and their mathematical formulas.
Having acquired adequate mathematical and computer instruments, the student will be able to carry out tests in formulations in the use of mathematical models and in the use of calculus techniques for problem solving in physics.
The Master's Degree course is open to further development and in-depth study in post-graduate courses.

It foresees different majors which permit the graduate student to enter basic research and/or applied research and in work-related areas which require experimental-applicative competences, the knowledge of innovative methods, the use of complex equipment.

The minimum requirements for admission in Master's programme in Physics at University of Milan for all applicants (Domestic or International) are:

• program specific academic requirment set by University of Milan.
• English Language OR any other language requirments as set by University of Milan as pre-requiste for admission in Master's programme in Physics.
