Physics (Classe LM-17)-Enrolled from Academic Year 2019/2020
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.

Admission assessment
Applicants must prove in-depth knowledge of classical physics and mathematical analysis, and basic knowledge of geometry, computer science, analytical mechanics, quantum mechanics, the structure of matter, nuclear and subnuclear physics, as well as laboratory work skills (data acquisition and processing).
All candidates will be assessed through an interview on subjects covered by the core courses of the aforementioned degree programme in Physics.
The interviewing board will include faculty members appointed by the Academic Board. The interview may also take place before graduation. However, the candidate must obtain their degree by 31 December 2022.
For the 2022/2023 academic year, interviews are scheduled on the following dates:
30 June 2022, 9.00 am, board room of the Department of Physics
16 September 2022, 9.00 am, board room of the Department of Physics
28 October 2022, 9.00 am, board room of the Department of Physics
13 January 2023, 9.00 am, board room of the Department of Physics.
Candidates who fail the interview, whether graduates or upcoming graduates, may not enrol on the Master's degree programme for the current year.
Proficiency in English at a B1 level or higher, under the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), is required for admission.
English language proficiency is assessed by the University Language Centre (SLAM) during the admission process based on:
- a language certificate obtained no more than 3 years earlier, at B1 or higher (the list of language certificates recognized by the University is available at https://www.unimi.it/en/study/language-proficiency/placement-tests-and-english-courses/english-entry-tests). The certificate must be uploaded when submitting the online application;
- the English level achieved during a Bachelor's degree programme through SLAM. The test must have been passed within the last four years. Language proficiency certificates will be checked by our offices, without the candidate having to attach any documents;
- placement test delivered by SLAM, which will take place as described here: https://www.unimi.it/en/study/language-proficiency/placement-tests-and-english-courses/english-entry-tests
All those who fail to submit a valid certificate or do not meet language proficiency requirements will be asked to sit a language test when applying for admission.
Candidates who do not sit or pass the placement test will have until 31 December 2022 to obtain and submit a recognized certificate to SLAM.
Students who do not meet the requirement by 31 December will not be admitted to the Master's degree programme and may not sit further tests.

- The student must also complete another 18 credits freely choosing from all the courses activated by the University, provided that they are culturally coherent with his/her educational path and cannot be superimposed, in content, to the fundamental and optional teachings already used in the Study Plan. The insertion of courses in the anthropo-psycho-pedagogical area is strongly recommended as required, based on current legislation, for access to public competitions for teaching.
