Overview
In the MSc in Applied Physics at the University of Twente (UT) we aim to achieve the ideal balance between 'hardcore' physics and engineering. Research is spread out over five clusters:
- Physics of Fluids
- Nanoelectronic Materials
- Applied Nanophotonics
- Soft Matter
- Energy Materials and Systems
The themes that are covered within the programme are in perfect alignment with these five research clusters.
Careers
Approximately half of our graduates work in Research & Development departments at a university, research institute or centre of expertise (e.g. TNO, ECN, CERN) or at a corporate Research & Development department (e.g. Philips Natlab, Shell, Océ), developing new materials, new technology, or new products, for example for space travel or medical science.
Many Applied Physics graduates pursue their scientific studies at doctorate level, conducting independent research for four years under the guidance of a professor, and writing and defending a PhD dissertation. You can pursue a PhD at the University of Twente or at any other university in The Netherlands or abroad.
Some graduates pursue a career in engineering or manufacturing. In engineering, you design new products or production processes, working for a major company or as an independent adviser. In manufacturing, the focus is on innovations in the production process.
Accreditation
This programme holds NVAO accreditation.
Programme Structure
- Year 1
In the first year of this Master's programme you will take four general science courses related to physics theory, mathematical techniques, applied physics and experimental physics. Together these compulsory courses form the main thread of the programme. The four courses are divided over the four quartiles. As a result, you and your fellow students will get together on a regular basis throughout the first year. Another part of the year consists of specialisation courses closely linked to the research you are intersted in, the final third is completely elective.
- Year 2
The second year is the practical year. You can now for example choose to focus on fundamental science, e.g. by doing research in a research group and an internship at a research institute. On the other hand, you can also opt for a more engineering driven approach by doing research in a more engineering oriented research group, combined with an industry internship.
