The world from a different perspective
Applied physicists have a different view on the world around us. Physical phenomena turn into challenges, fascinating questions to investigate and analyze. But as an applied physicist you go one step further, by applying your knowledge of these phenomena in new technological developments. For example, think of:
- increasing the efficiency of solar cells
- new ways to generate energy
- even faster data traffic
You will be working on ambitious projects at the forefront of physics and societal applications, often in larger research teams, with other disciplines, or in strong collaboration with institutes or industry.
NOVEL EXPERIMENTAL AND COMPUTATIONAL TOOLS, AND LEADING TECHNOLOGIES
The Master's program in Applied Physics trains you to become Master of Science in Applied Physics (MSc). You develop great expertise in the field of physical phenomena, novel experimental and computational tools, and leading technologies. The extensive and unique hands-on experience that you gain during your scientific projects is particularly useful for finding a job.
Tracks of the Master Applied Physics
The two-year Master's program Applied Physics offers you the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge in one of the three Master's tracks within the program. When applying for the Master's program in Applied Physics you need to make a choice between one of the following tracks:
MasterPlus Optics & Photonics specialization
Lighten up your future with our MasterPlus program Optics & Photonics, where physics and engineering converge to harness the potential of light. Explore the journey of light through Optics and drive innovation with Photonics, empowering you to revolutionize technology for a better world. From communication and healthcare to renewable energy, this dynamic field opens doors to endless possibilities.
The MasterPlus is a specialization within the 'Nano, Quantum, and Photonics' track, providing, on top of the regular program, additional activities and trainings, to best prepare our students to a bright career in optics and photonics. You delve into the physics behind cutting-edge photonics and modern optics, explore novel materials and uncover the potential of nanophotonics. You choose at least three optics/photonics electives and take a deep dive into the most recent scientific and technological developments in the field.
You will become part of a thriving community of researchers and creators through a tailored mix of courses, research projects, and social involvement. The program offers specialized courses, industry internships, challenge based projects, guidance on valorization and spin-offs and a vibrant community driving scientific and social change. You’ll immerse yourself in the excitement of crafting groundbreaking technology. Whether in a startup or a global corporation, be part of the forefront of innovation.
