The Master's Degree in Physics allows the completion of the general education of a holder of a three-year degree by allowing him to acquire vast and in-depth knowledge of frontier topics in the chosen Physics sector.
The Master's Degree in Physics is divided into curricula corresponding to different fields of research in Physics.
In these curricula the most important theoretical and experimental developments for the reference sector are studied and differentiated laboratory activities are carried out in which the most recent and sophisticated measurement, analysis and data processing methods are tested and numerical and symbolic calculation techniques are acquired. Alternatively, the student presents a proposal for a personalized study plan, whose cultural coherence will be evaluated by the Teaching Council.

The training course ends with the preparation of the final exam, preceded by any internship and orientation activities useful for acquiring further skills necessary for carrying out the thesis work and/or for subsequent entry into the world of work.

The organization of the Master's Degree Course in different specialized curricula involves the presence in the System of wide ranges of variation of the CFU in the different areas of the characterizing Disciplines, in order to achieve a high scientific preparation in each training course.

The Master's Degree in Physics does not have restricted access.
Students who apply to enroll in the Master's Degree in Physics must be in possession of a three-year degree (pursuant to Ministerial Decree 270/04 or previous regulations), or another qualification obtained abroad recognized as equivalent according to current legislation, provided that it is able to demonstrate the acquisition of knowledge consistent with the activities envisaged by the ministerial tables of the Degree class in Physical Sciences and Technologies.
Specifically, the applicants' study curricula must present a total of no less than 90 CFU in the scientific-disciplinary sectors MAT/*, FIS/*, CHIM/*, INF/01, ING-INF/01-02, ING-INF/05, ING-INF/07, ING-IND/09-10, ING-IND/18-20, ING-IND/22-23, GEO/10, GEO/11, GEO/12; of these CFU no less than 60 must refer to the scientific-disciplinary sectors MAT/*, FIS/*.
The candidate must in particular possess:
- adequate knowledge and operational capacity in Mathematical Analysis, Geometry and Linear Algebra, as well as the basic notions of General Chemistry;
- in-depth knowledge of Classical Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism and Optics and basic knowledge of Modern Physics;
- the ability to use computer calculation tools;
- a level of knowledge of the English language at least equal to level B1.
All candidates will be assessed on their personal preparation in accordance with the methods indicated in the Course of Study's Teaching Regulations.

The exam for the Master's Degree in Physics consists of the discussion, in the form of a short scientific seminar, of a paper (Thesis) prepared under the guidance of a supervisor, in front of a specially appointed Commission.
The Thesis consists of a written report, on an original application of a theoretical, experimental or technological nature, to a specific problem of interest for research appropriately framed in the field of modern physics and its applications or in an interdisciplinary field with the use of typical physics methodologies. It must demonstrate the cultural maturity and the capacity of the graduate to personally and autonomously elaborate the topic, and his ability to effectively communicate the topic addressed.
