MA/MS in Applied Physics

The master's trains students in materials engineering and the physics of devices, always tying the work back to real-world applications, and pairs basic research with innovation driven by industry needs. Teaching and research happen at the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials. Students build on their applied-physics knowledge while gaining technical skills for tackling global challenges, exploring advanced topics such as materials design for next-generation electronics, micro- and nano-devices, energy conversion, and nanostructured materials. It suits students who already have solid grounding in physics or applied physics and want to build on that with hands-on research experience.
