The Master’s degree program in Technical Physics expands on the material taught in the Bachelor’s degree program and includes taking advanced-level physics classes, addressing current research topics in selected subfields of physics, and developing an academic skill set to work on solving current problems in research and/or issues impacting industrial development. When completing a Master’s thesis, students will work closely with industry representatives and apply theory to real-world applications. Students are at the forefront of ground-breaking research and will be taught how to master corresponding methods and apply these to industrial solutions. Students have the freedom to choose electives in a variety of areas in physics and can tailor their studies to suit their personal interests and career goals.
