Director of Master ICFP : Giulio BIROLI
The International Centre for Fundamental Physics and its interfaces (ICFP) offers an English-speaking two-year master’s program in Physics.
Partner universities
Courses are jointly organized with the following universities and institutions:
Curriculum
The curriculum provides a thorough understanding of the theoretical and experimental basis of Fundamental Physics. Its broad spectrum includes statistical physics, high energy physics, atomic physics, condensed matter physics, astrophysics and physics for biology.
Program
The program is spread over two years and 120 ECTS, requesting full-time studies. It is also possible to join the program directly in Year 2. The academic year is divided into two semesters:
Content
Year 1 consists in an in-depth introduction to modern physics, particularly in statistical physics, quantum mechanics and relativity. It includes a mandatory research internship, often performed in a foreign laboratory. This internship represents a genuine research work, with a first scientific publication.
Year 2 offers a specialization through four programs:
Assessment
Written examinations conclude each semester.
ENS Physics Department awards a Master’s degree, equivalent to a Master of Science and giving access to doctoral studies.
