Physics and Astronomy (0321)

Graduate studies and research, both theoretical and experimental, are offered in Astronomy and Astrophysics, Condensed Matter Physics (Electronic properties, Biological and soft matter, Optics), and Nuclear Particles and Fields.

As the program for the M.Sc. requires four semesters for completion, we recommend to take a minimum of five courses during the first year of study. Students must complete general core courses in physics, additional core courses in their particular field, elective courses, and submit a written thesis on a research problem.

Admission Requirements

Applicants to graduate studies in Physics must have a minimum grade point average of 85 in Physics or a closely-related field.  Admissions Committee will interview the candidates with grade point averages between 80 and 84 and will decide regarding the acceptance. The committee may impose special requirements on students that must be fulfilled during the course of study.

Students who have completed with distinction both their undergraduate studies and their first year of graduate studies are eligible for a program of direct studies towards the Ph.D. degree, as specified in the guidelines for research students.
