Course catalogue of the Master degree program in Physics A.A. 2018/19

Laurea Magistrale in Fisica LM-17 Students may choose among the following four dfferent tracks offered:

Microphyiscs Curriculum (6,6,28,6)

 Track: Particle and astroparticle physics

 Track: Condensed Matter Physics: Fundamental Science and Nanotechnology Geophysics and Space Curriculum (6,6,18,16)

 Track: Physics of the environment and meteorology

 Track: Space Physics

There is an International double degree program, in Condensed matter Physics with a compulsory mobility to Gdansk Polytechnic school in the second year, often supported by mobility grants.

Starting this year, an International double degree program with compulsory mobility to I.

Javakhishivili Tblisi State University in the second year, often supported by mobility grants, is also offered for the tracks: Particle and astroparticle Physics, Condensed Matter Physics and Space Physics.

Students willing to enrol in the International programs are encouraged to participate to a selection which is published, on a yearly basis, on the University web-site.

The following Tables list the different courses offered in each track, specifying the name, scientific- and disciplinary code (SSD), the credits according to the ECTS classification, and the activity type T (legend: B = characterizing, and compulsory, C = integrative, S = elective), Y = course year and semester (S). The links point to the description of each single course.

*These courses are specified in the following tables and are within "Astrophysical, geophysical and space sciences" (SSD FIS/05, FIS/06, o GEO/12) for tracks: Space physics and Physics of the environment and meteorology, and within "Microphysical and of the structure of matter" (SSD FIS/03 o FIS/04) or

"Theory and Physics fundamentals" (SSD FIS/02) for tracks: Particle and Astroparticle physics and Condensed Matter Physics: Fundamental Science and Nanotechnology

** 8 ECTS can be freely chosen by the students within the second year.

Each student may use these ECTS, according to his/her own track and interests, within the two year degree in the following ways:

1. A course offered within the degree program

2. Additional topics to offered courses: the students will complement and integrate his/her knowledge on specific topics, which are not part of the regular program, under the supervision of the teacher.

--- Students with a bachelor degree in non-Physics programs, could be required to attend some courses of the bachelor program (1^st degree cycle) in Physics according to the suggestions of the Study Board in Physics:
