Program details

Overview

This two-year track forms part of the joint Physics and Astronomy master's degree offered together with Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and is built as a flexible programme that lets students take electives from the more specialised physics and astronomy tracks. A route in computational physics of complex systems sits within the structure, and the track can be paired with a major such as education. Topics within reach of the curriculum include neutrinos, the physics of low temperatures and DNA repair, alongside broader questions in physical constants, with students working alongside the department's researchers.
