Programme Description

Applied physicists have a different view on the world around us. Physical phenomena turn into challenges, fascinating questions to investigate and analyze. But as an applied physicist you go one step further, by applying your knowledge of these phenomena in new technological developments. In many cases these are ambitious projects, in which working in teams with people from other disciplines is a central factor.

The Master´s degree program in Applied Physics gives you the opportunity to get involved in physical phenomena, new technologies and measurement methods. These are based on technical applications of physical principles in the most diverse disciplines.

The course consists to a large extent of internships, so that you will learn how to apply your technical and scientific knowledge in a research environment. The Applied Physics department opts for an integrated approach to teaching and research at an internationally competitive level.

The Applied Physics department is responsible for this master's degree program. Having successfully completed the master's degree program you are allowed to use the academic title Master of Science (MSc).

Requirements
More

The program Master of Science in Applied Physics has the following specializations:

* Functional (Nano-)Materials
* Physics of Transport in Fluids
* Plasma Physics & Radiation Technology
* Physical Instrumentation/Medical Physics

Three specializations that will probably become independent programs in the future:

* Nano-Engineering
* Polymers and Composites
* Broadband Telecommunication Technologies

First year

- Electives (55%)
- specializations (20%)
- technical courses (15%)
- optional courses (20%)
- Internship (30%)
- Interdepartmental project (15%)

Second year

- Final internship (100%)
Approximately two-thirds of the Master´s degree program consists of internships. Your first year will include an internship at a company in the Netherlands, or at a company or university in another country. This internship can be of a theoretical or practical nature, but a combination of both is also possible.

The entire second year of the Master´s degree program consists of a final internship, during which you will independently complete a major project. While doing this you will see that the knowledge and skills that you will by then have gained are essential for the successful completion of your project. After completing your final internship you will obtain the title Master of Science in Applied Physics.

Requirements

You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country. Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test. More information

The general requirements for admission to the TU/e Master's of Science programs are:

- A relevant Bachelor's degree (or equivalent), based on a program of sufficient academic level and quality to be able to complete the TU/e Master's program in question.
- Sufficient mastery of the English language. To prove sufficient command of the English language you should submit an Academic IELTS or TOEFL test.
- Experience shows that students with BSc Grade Point Average (GPA) for the Bachelor's study of at least 75% are more likely to be admitted to a TU/e Master´s program.
- There may also be specific additional requirements for some Master's programs, depending on the nature of your prior education.
- Non-EEA students who are admitted to a TU/e Master's program, but who do not receive a recognised scholarship or a student grant from the Dutch government, are required to transfer a sum of 10,000 euro to the TU/e.
