The 2 years master program provides advanced theoretical and practical training in the field of computational physics, with emphasis on computer-based modeling and simulation of physical processes and phenomena.

It is based on a modern curriculum merging advanced knowledge of classical physics, modern physics, computational physics with interdisciplinary applications and basics of modern programming concepts and languages. The master program provides the development of advanced programming capabilities and algorithmic thinking and usage of software for numerical and symbolic computation.

Moreover, it provides the capability to apply advanced numerical and simulation methods in science and economy, to find a solution of complex problems and optimal decision making, and to design and manage complex research and development programs. The master program aims to provide students with the appropriate tools for further Ph.D. studies and to become professional experts in the field through continuing professional training programs....

The course of studies in order to achieve the Master's Degree in Physics has two years of attendance, including the time needed for the preparation of the final examination. For the achievement of this Master's Degree it is necessary to acquire 120 CFU (university credits) by passing 10 exams in specific subjects and related characterizing the Study Programme. The degree gives access to doctoral courses in physics or other scientific-technological areas or second-level master.

In the study program is strengthened and refined the basic training in physics, awarded the three-year degree, while also providing the frontier physics. In the study program will also reflect the research activities carried out in the Department of Physics from both university teachers and researchers of the sections of the bodies of the National Research present locally (INFN, INAF, CNR)....

Throughout the past century scientific research has been characterized by a progressive specialization and compartmentalization of knowledge, it being very difficult for a person to dominate more than one scientific field. Despite the success of this program based on a reductionist approach, the new scientific challenges require a broader vision and the establishment of synergies between research groups of different disciplines that allow to go beyond the traditional frontiers of knowledge. In particular, complex systems are characterized by the existence of emergent properties and collective behaviors generated by the interaction between a large number of elements.... [-]

Through this program, students will acquire the scientific and technological knowledge, as well as the principal experience, to understand and contribute to innovative research and development processes in the energy field.

Skills:

Prerequisites for enrolment

Prerequisites training

The Master’s Degree is a two-year degree. At Polytech Nantes, only the second year is accessible, so applicants should hold a degree which is at least a 4-year degree in higher education (i.e. a 3-year Bachelor is not acceptable) and should be in one of the following fields: Applied Physics, MechanicalEngineering, Chemical Engineering....

Applied Physics curriculum: students will acquire a solid knowledge in topics of interest of applied Physics, particularly with an emphasis on experimental aspects. The absence of a compulsory course allows students to plan their tailor-made curriculum. Depending on the chosen ECTS, students develop advanced skills in Medical Physics, Biophysics, Complex Systems, Computing or Statistical Techniques for Data Analysis.... [-]

Deeper knowledge of the core disciplines of mechanical engineering creates a broad basis for creative applications in engineering and other professional growth through various forms of lifelong learning. The main emphasis in graduate education in the field of Applied Mechanics is on the readiness and ability to develop, elaborate and make practical use of modern computational and experimental approaches to solve technical problems. Graduates will be able to perform static, kinematic and dynamic analysis of mechanisms and structures, to apply fracture mechanics in the assessment of limit states of components and structures, to assess the reliability and durability of machines and temperature loading, deal with technical tasks, flow dynamics and hydro-thermodynamic systems and heat and mass transfer. They will be able to exploit and further develop computer support in the design, planning and research activities for specific applications.... [-]

Unique in the country, the Faculty of Geology and Geophysics originates in three faculties geologically and geophysically organized after the Education Reform in 1948. Today the traditions of Romanian geology continue to a high level of scientific and didactic approach, on the background of modernization and permanent updating.

The current organization of the faculty dates back to 1990 and is characterized by a continuous dynamic, offering graduates career opportunities in industry as well as in the scientific and academic fields.

The academic offer of the faculty contains three bachelor programs, five master and one doctoral programs in modern study areas and a great interest for the global labor market and advanced scientific research: Geological Engineering, Geology and Geophysics.... [-]

Mathematics and physics are complementary subjects and make a sensible combination to study at university. There are many examples of unexpected discoveries resulting from the interaction between the two disciplines. Ideas developed in particle physics have led to advances in topology - one of the purest branches of mathematics. Advances in the understanding of chaos provide another example. Ideas from the theory are being applied increasingly in the modeling of complex physical systems such as the atmosphere and lasers.

The Warwick joint courses (BSc and MMathPhys) are now among the best-established in the country with around 50 students starting each year. The courses include a significant proportion of modules from both contributing departments designed primarily for joint degree students. It is possible at the end of the First Year to transfer to either of the single subject degrees. Years one and two are common to the two courses.... [-]
