Physics (Classe LM-17)-Enrolled Until the Academic Year 2018/2019
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.

Among the line of study that graduate students will undertake, are the following:
-scientific research in Italian and foreign universities;
-scientific research in public and private institutions, Italian and foreign;
-scientific research in industries;
- professional and project work in fields related to physics, industry, the environment, health, art and in public administration;
-the high-level diffusion of scientific education with particular reference to theoretical aspects, experimental and applicative aspects to classic and modern physics;
-promotion and development of scientific innovation and technology.
