Specific requirements
This Master's Degree is especially aimed at Physics graduates and graduates of the Double Degree in Physics and Mathematics. However, graduates from other related fields, such as Mathematics, Chemistry, Industrial and Telecommunications Engineering or Biotechnology are also eligible.
- Graduates in Physics or in a double degree in Physics+Mathematics will find in this master's degree a logical and natural continuity of their previous university studies, being able to access any of the three specialisations without difficulty.
- Mathematics graduates are recommended to opt for the Mathematical Physics module, which provides a high level of specialisation in aspects of Theoretical Physics and the most current branches of Mathematical Physics.
- Graduates in Chemistry, Biotechnology and Industrial or Telecommunications Engineering are recommended to opt for the specialisation modules in Materials Physics or Atmospheric Physics and Climate.
In order to specify the details of the Master, information sessions will be held prior to the pre-enrolment period. If necessary, personal interviews will be held with the Academic Coordinator prior to enrolment to provide guidance on the most appropriate subjects according to the entry profile, future interests and personal characteristics.
Academic criteria for student selection
The admission of students will be subject to the analysis of the curriculum of the applicants by the Master's Academic Committee, in order to be able to guide students in the suitability and adequacy of this Master's Degree to their expectations and previous knowledge. In this regard, the information provided to the Academic Coordinator (via email or interviews) is very important, especially for graduates from degrees other than Physics.
Access to the Master's degree does not include any additional training, so students coming from degrees such as Mathematics, Engineering, Chemistry or Biotechnology will be given indications regarding the appropriate path to follow.
The specific criteria for the admission of students will be as follows:
- Criterion 1: Original degree (specific weight of 60%):
- Physics or Physics+Mathematics: 100%.
- Mathematics, Chemistry, Industrial and Telecommunications Engineering: 80%.
- Biotechnology and other Degrees with Physics ECTS over 80 ECTS: 75%.
- Criterion 2: Assessment of the academic record (specific weight of 30%).
- Criterion 3: If the places offered are filled, interview by the Academic Committee (specific weight of 10%). The aspects to be assessed in the interview will be:
- Physics content in the applicant's academic curriculum, according to the specialisation requested.
- Expectations of the applicant student with regard to continuing in the field of research and, in particular, to pursue doctoral studies.
