General and Specific Educational Objectives
The Master's Degree Program in Physics is designed to provide a deep and up-to-date specialized education across all sectors of contemporary physics. The specific educational objectives of the program aim to train graduates who:
- Possess a thorough understanding of classical, relativistic, and quantum physics, encompassing phenomenological and theoretical aspects, their mathematical formalization, and numerical modeling.
- Have solid knowledge of technologies and analytical methods for processing large amounts of structured and unstructured, and even heterogeneous, data.
- Are equipped with training that can easily adapt to technological and scientific innovations, applying scientific research methods to the modeling of complex systems, even in fields beyond traditional physics.
Specifically, the degree program aims to achieve the following objectives:
- Provide a solid cultural foundation in the fields of experimental and applied physics; theoretical and foundational physics; microphysics and material structure; astrophysics, geophysics, and space physics.
- Offer advanced scientific and operational training with significant expertise in at least one of the following areas: Astrophysics, Biophysics, Accelerator Physics, Plasma Physics, Complex Systems Physics, Nuclear Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Applied Physics for Medicine, Physics for Cultural Heritage, Experimental Particle Physics and Fundamental Interactions, Environmental Physics, Electronics, History and Teaching of Physics, Quantum Technologies, Theory of Fundamental Interactions, Models and Methods of Theoretical Physics, and Quantum Computing.
- Prepare graduates with a strong aptitude for problem-solving.
- Train graduates capable of describing natural phenomena rigorously using a mathematical-statistical approach, and of working autonomously, including taking managerial responsibility for projects.
- Equip graduates with tools for high-level scientific communication and dissemination.
- Prepare graduates with solid expertise in both content and methodologies for teaching.
These educational objectives are tailored to provide Physics graduates with a curriculum suitable for:
- Admission to third-level education programs, such as doctoral studies, medical physics specialization schools, and second-level master's programs.
- Entry into the workforce with qualifications for high-level professional roles involving research and development in science- and technology-based sectors (e.g., energy, electronics, mechanics, materials, telecommunications, environment, cultural heritage, medicine) or areas requiring data analysis and modeling of complex phenomena using scientific methods (e.g., economics and finance).
The program's educational offerings are closely linked to the research lines in physics developed at the university, ensuring students achieve solid scientific preparation and expertise in specific fields.
The academic pathway includes lectures, exercises, laboratory work, elective courses, participation in seminars, and internships. The program also includes related disciplines alongside in-depth English language proficiency.
The program covers the following learning areas:
- Experimental Physics Area for Specialized Training: To deepen knowledge in one of the specialized sectors listed above, aligned with the student's interests and the program's educational objectives.
- Theoretical Physics and Mathematical Physics Area: To advance knowledge in the foundational, theoretical, and mathematical aspects of physics, including advanced mathematics and methodologies for teaching technologies.
- Physics Laboratory Area for Research: Comprising advanced laboratory courses that typically provide access to instrumentation used by faculty and researchers in fundamental and applied research.
The program concludes with the preparation of a thesis, which may be carried out in university facilities or at external institutions such as qualified research entities, companies in the technological sector, organizations focused on environmental and/or cultural heritage preservation, hospitals, or banks. The thesis results are presented orally before a dedicated committee.
The degree program offers a choice of curricula:
1. A curriculum allowing the selection of courses focused on a specific area of physics, such as those listed above.
2. A curriculum offering a more uniform coverage of different fields, oriented toward teaching and scientific dissemination.

- 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.
