La física aplicada es un ámbito interdisciplinar que cubre el hueco existente entre los problemas más básicos propios de la física teórica y los procesos de desarrollo e innovación asociados usualmente al ámbito de las diferentes ingenierías, lo que se ha venido en llamar la «brecha tecnológica». La enorme repercusión social de algunas de sus temáticas como, por ejemplo, aquellos aspectos relacionados con las energías renovables o el desarrollo de herramientas de diagnóstico de patologías clínicas que sean precisas, mínimamente invasivas, eficaces, de bajo coste y más universales, justifican las enormes expectativas que generan los resultados de la investigación en este ámbito interdisciplinar. El currículo que se oferta al estudiantado ofrece una gran flexibilidad aunque permite un mayor grado de especialización en cuatro áreas: la biofísica, los dispositivos optoelectrónicos y fotovoltaicos, la fotónica y la química cuántica. Tipo de enseñanza Enseñanza presencial. Duración y calendario Duración: un curso académico (octubre 2014 / septiembre 2015). Docencia presencial: octubre 2014 - mayo 2015.

Additionally, holders of degrees from education systems outside of the European Higher Education Area can access the programme without having to validate the degree as long as the university verifies that the degree ensures that the holder has achieved a level of education equivalent to that which is provided by a corresponding official Spanish degree and the degree allows the holder to access postgraduate level studies in the country from which it was issued. Admittance to the programme in this way does not imply the official validation of the degree nor does it make reference to any recognition other than allowing the holder to study in this Master's programme. This programme is especially designed for students with degrees in biology, marine sciences, or other similar programmes. Given its interdisciplinary nature, graduates from other disciplines within the scope of this Master's degree may also study in the programme. In addition to the corresponding accreditation of having the competences needed for this Master's programme,... [-]

Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling (TCCM) play a key role in the development of modern chemistry, biochemistry, chemical biology, physics and material science. This has motivated six Universities leaders in the key disciplines of the field to set a consortium and offer a joint TCCM Master course. The creation of this joint Master has two main objectives:    * establish a European standard for Master training;    * promote the international mobility of Master studentsin the TCCM field. This idea has successfully attracted other 41 European higher education Institutions which have decided to join the TCCM Master consortium and has convinced the European Chemistry Thematic Network (ECTN) to support the initiative.The TCCM Master is meant to prepare experts in using and developing molecular sciences computational techniques to either work with innovative pharmaceutical, petrochemical and new-materials industries or to follow future doctoral studies in Chemistry, Physics, Life or Material Sciences. It is articulated in 120 ECTS credits and can be accessed by students having a Bachelor in Chemistry, in Physics or in Material Science. Other scientific bachelors can also be accepted (provided that the student integrates his/her preparation as recommended by the local Tutor).In the first year (M1), 12 ECTS credits are devoted to a levelling course, 3 to the improvement of the student's command of a European language and 30 to compulsory courses in Mathematics, Statistical Mechanics, Molecular Quantum Mechanics, Programming and Numerical Methods; Group Theory; Reaction Dynamics and Spectroscopy delivered locally in the official language chosen by the participating Institution.
