Overview
The first semester of this M2 Fundamental Concepts of Physics program at Paris-Saclay University is dedicated to courses. Each student enrolls in a program in which he/she follows compulsory and optional courses. In exceptional cases, the student can include in his/her program one optional course from another area of study, in agreement with his/her head of studies.
In second semester, four optional courses will be chosen from any program. These optional courses must be approved by the head of the studies. Students are expected to complete an internship relevant to their course of study, April to June, in France or abroad.
The vast majority of graduates go on to doctoral studies, and some enter employment at Master's level (Bac+5)
