Applied Physics University of Limerick

Overview

The Applied Physics course from the University of Limerick  aims to increase their understanding of applied physics, the physical principles underlying material properties, and the operation of processes and equipment for the research and high technology sectors. 

It is delivered by researchers at the cutting edge of next generation technologies with an outstanding track-record in producing scientific publications, and intellectual property. 

Researchers are members of the Bernal Institute at UL, one of the leading research institutes in Ireland, and have a tradition of experimental development, calibration and validation. 

During this programme, you will:  

• Choose from a wide range of specialist topics and access the unique state-of-the-art facilities of the Bernal Institute such as the FEI Titan Transmission Electron Microscope, Non-linear Optics Lab and Nanophotonics Lab. 

• Learn from researchers such as Professor Ursel Bangert, Professor Christophe Silien and Professor Ning Liu at the forefront of next generation technologies. 

• Engage with companies such as Analog Devices, COOK Medical, Intel, Seagate and BorgWarner and enhance your employment opportunities. 

• Prepare and complete a research project that applies theory to practical problems in an industrial or academic research environment.
