Master in Physics of ATOM, NUCLEUS, ELEMENTARY, ASTROPHYSIC AND APPLICATIONS

[-]

A two year postgraduate degree offered by The ANU College of Science.

Postgraduate students in astronomy and astrophysics at ANU receive an innovative education. You will have access to Australia’s largest optical observatory and to the Advanced Instrumentation and Technology Centre, which designs, builds and tests world-leading instrumentation for astronomy and space science. As a postgraduate student, you’ll be based at our Mount Stromlo Observatory, where our staff and students have made major contributions to astronomy, mapping the structure and formation of the Milky Way, discovering planets orbiting other stars, and discovering the accelerating expansion of the Universe. Our staff include winners of the Australian Prime Minister’s Prize for Science and the Nobel Prize.... [-]

What does it consist of?

The objective of the Master's Degree in Advanced Physics and Applied Mathematics (MFMA) is to provide advanced training, aimed especially at those undergraduates who aspire to do a PhD later.

It treats therefore of a Master oriented fundamentally to the investigation. This requires a structure that makes it possible to specialize in some research areas of special quality. The UIB has the mention of Campus of International Excellence, which includes the line of Physics, Computing and Applications. This line includes certain research groups, which over time have been developing a work of first international level. That is why five specialties are offered, directly linked to these groups: Astrophysics and Relativity, Geophysical Fluids, Materials Physics, Quantum Systems and Applied Mathematics.... [-]

There are Scholarships and Aids options

Astronomy arose before the fascination of the human being for the starry sky. As a current science, it responds immediately to the technological advances that determine the spectacular discoveries in the knowledge of the cosmos of which we are witnessing.

Definition of the program

The objective of the Master's Degree in Astronomy and Astrophysics is to provide students with in-depth knowledge of contemporary astronomy, both in terms of the constituents of the universe and the most current observational techniques used in the exploration of the cosmos. It covers theoretical and technical aspects related to the most advanced technologies, the use of detectors and the analysis of the data obtained.... [-]

Masters in Astrophysics. The Masters Degree Program in Particle and Astroparticle Physics (LM-17) provides students with in-depth knowledge of the experimental and theoretical aspects of elementary particle physics. The Master's Degree program offers a unique learning and training experience for students holding a Bachelors degree in Physics, including the opportunity to work with leading scholars. The program spans the full spectrum of experimental, theoretical and applied particle and astroparticle physics, from high-energy colliders to neutrino physics, from gravitational waves to the search for dark matter, including high-performance computing and medical physics. Most of the research is performed within the framework of collaboration agreements involving CERN and other major international facilities and universities. Three other curricula (Condensed Matter, Biophysics and Theoretical Physics) of the same Masters Degree Program in Physics as well a Master’s Degree Program in Astronomy and Astrophysics are available with some courses given in Italian and others in English. World university rankings recognize the excellence of the Sapienza Physics Department and the superior quality of our teaching and laboratory training. [-]

The two-year track Gravitation, Astro-, and Particle Physics (GRAPPA) in the Master’s programme Physics and Astronomy, a joint degree with the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, stands at the intersection of theoretical physics, experimental (astro)particle physics and astrophysics. Students benefit from a highly collaborative international research environment. Current research topics include gravitational waves, collider-based particle physics experiments and dark matter detection, and the staff is involved in several large international research projects.

Is GRAPPA in Amsterdam the track for me?

The GRAPPA track is for ambitious students interested in gravitation, astroparticle and particle physics. You are intrigued by both the subatomic scale (e.g. the Standard Model, particle interactions) and the largest scales (e.g. astrophysical objects, the Universe), and are particularly interested in combining the two to address some of the biggest puzzles in science. Furthermore, you:... [-]

The exceptional atmospheric conditions for the highest quality astronomical observations in the Canary Islands, together with their geographical proximity and good connection with Europe, justify the presence of the European Observatory of the Northern Hemisphere (ENO). This fact, together with the consequent concentration of professors and researchers around the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands, the Department of Astrophysics of the ULL and the Observatories, generates an ideal environment for the development of a Master in Astrophysics in which direct contact with prestigious professionals supposes an exceptional added value. The Master has been designed based on a wide and rigorous offer of subjects, options and itineraries that are concreted in three specialties: "Specialty in Theory and Computation", "Specialty in Observation and Instrumentation" and "Structure of Matter"....
