The second year is organized around four different programs: Condensed Matter Physics, Soft Matter and biological physics, Quantum Physics and Theoretical 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 second semester, four optional courses will be chosen from any program (4x3 ECTS). These optional courses must be approved by the head of the studies.
Students are expected to complete an internship relevant to their course of study (18 ECTS) April to june, in France or abroad.

Suggestions for course compositions depending on your interests
| Head of studies | Aleksandra WALCZAK and Emmanuelle RIO |
| Semester 1 | Two compulsory courses (6 ECTS): Advanced Statistical physics choice of AT LEAST one from — choosing both is also an option: Advanced Biophysics Soft Matter Physics Three optional courses (3 x 6 ECTS) to be chosen from the list of S1 courses. Timetable compatibility is guaranteed for: Advanced Methods in biological physics and soft matter Interfaces and morphogenesis Physics of fluids and nonlinear physics Methods for Data Driven modelling or Algorithms and computations |
During the 1st semester, it will be possible to take 1 course (among 3) from another master. Nevertheless, before taking any course from a non -ICFP master program, the list of chose courses must be validated by Aleksandra WALCZAK and Emmanuelle RIO. |
| Semester 2 | Four courses (4 x 3 ECTS) to be chosen from the list of S2 courses. Recommended courses:
Active matter and collective behaviour
Circuits and network dynamics in synthetic biology and neuroscience
Ecology, evolution and epidemiology
Numerical methods for fluid dynamics
Physics of multicellular systems
Transfers in complex fluids
Soft or Slender: mechanics of Nature-inspired, highly deformable bodies
Turbulence
Any courses from outside the ICFP must be validated by the head of the studies.|
