There change for 2016/2017. Information coming soon

The second year is organized around four different programs: Theoretical physics; Quantum Physics: from atom to solid state; Macroscopic Physics and Complexity and Condensed Matter Physics. The first semester is dedicated to courses (30 ECTS). Each student enrolls in a program in which he/she follows compulsory and optional courses. In exceptional cases, the student can include in his/her program one optional course from another area of study, in agreement with his/her head of studies.

In the second semester, students are expected to complete an internship relevant to their course of study (18 ECTS) plus four optional courses chosen from any program (4x 3 ECTS). These optional courses must be approved by the head of the studies.
