Contents
The master studies represent the second cycle of the university studies. The MA programmes enable the students to further their research into a specific domain and they prepare the way towards their applying for the doctoral programmes. A master's degree corresponds to a two-year postgraduate program (120 ECTS credits, 30 ECTS in each semester). The curriculum of a master´s programme provides 14-16 hours a week. There are 4-6 disciplines in each semester.
Core disciplines: Programming Languages (C++, Fortran, Java); Software Packages (Matlab, Mathematica, OpenGL); Simulation Techniques and Numerical Methods; Simulation of the Structure and Dynamics of Molecules; Image Processing; Stochastic Simulation Methods with Interdisciplinary Applications; Numerical Methods in Atomic Physics; Symbolic Calculations; Object-Oriented Programming; Digital Signal Processing; Advanced Topics in Modern Physics. Throughout the master’s programme students are required to carry out one semester of research work at Babes-Bolyai University or abroad.
Thesis
The completion of master studies assumes a dissertation corresponding to 20 credits, beyond the 120 credits of the curriculum.
