Overview

Master’s Degree in Physics of Complex Systems from University of the Balearic Islandsdefined by progressive specialisation and compartmentalisation, making it difficult for individuals to master more than one scientific field.

Key facts

Despite the success of this narrower approach, new scientific challenges require a broader overview of and synergies between research groups across different disciplines in order to move beyond the traditional frontiers of knowledge. More specifically, complex systems are characterised by collective behaviour generated by how large amounts of elements interact and whose nature cannot be inferred from units within the system.

These emerging phenomena are seen in many examples from highly diverse fields: how social consensus is reached; stock market collapses; chaotic dynamics in lasers; turbulent flow; vegetation patterns on sheet wash surfaces; human mobility; linguistic innovations and even memory and awareness processes in the brain. In turn, the concepts of complex systems have been used in predictive climate modelling and disordered systems in physics, as evidenced by the 2021 Nobel Prize for Physics.
