Students with a Bachelor?s degree in physics or related fields are encouraged to apply to the Department of Physics Master?s program. The program is suitable both as a means of professional development and preparation for further graduate study. Students will normally complete the requirements within four semesters, starting with basic ?core? courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics and statistical physics, followed by a number of elective courses or a master?s thesis. Our research groups provide world-class training and experience designed to give students the skills that are highly valued by the various electronics, medical, financial, and energy industries, as well as academia.
