Overview
What You'll Learn
You will gain hands-on experience with the latest technologies in, for example, laser cooling to study Bose-Einstein condensation, novel techniques used to study complex materials down to the (sub)atomic level, and microscopy techniques that allow you to follow biological processes on a nm scale. Hand in hand with these experimental methods, you will also learn to apply advanced data analysis techniques and computer modelling.
International Research
The Master’s degree programme in Experimental Physics at Utrecht University offers courses with a strong link to research carried out by experimental research groups in the Department of Physics at Utrecht University. You will have the opportunity to work in close cooperation with groups specialising in the strong nuclear forces, ultra-cold quantum matter, and ultra-fast light-matter interaction.
Research for experimental physics is performed at the Nanophotonics, Soft Condensed Matter & Biophysics, and Subatomic Physics labs in Utrecht and at the famous CERN laboratory in Geneva. You will also have the opportunity to participate in (inter)national research meetings.
Career Prospects
The MSc in Experimental Physics is a research Master's, and many graduates continue in research inside or outside of academia. However, a Master's degree in Experimental Physics opens up many possibilities in industry, finance, and consultancy, depending on your particular talents and preferences.
