Research in Experimental Physics is bedoeld voor studenten met een erkende opleiding in natuurkunde of sterrenkunde inclusief optica, quantum fysica en electrodynamics op bachelorniveau. De te behalen graad garandeert een grondige ervaring in de voorhoede van natuurkundig onderzoek en een praktische training van communicatieve- en computervaardigheden om te functioneren in de industrie, maatschappij en het onderzoek.
Programme
The programme consists of a compulsory and an optional part. The compulsory part includes a number of courses on the chosen subject. Master’s students also work on one or two research projects and a master’s thesis. In the optional part of the programme students choose from a number of courses depending on the research project. The specialisation can to a high degree be tailored to individual needs and interests.
Two of the courses should be chosen from the Theoretical Physics courses on offer (for a number of research subjects, the course Quantum Theory is strongly advised). The other courses can be elected from all physics courses on offer. It is even possible to choose courses offered by other universities or graduate schools. One research project will be performed in a research group within LION, the Leiden Institute of Physics. The other research project can be done in a research group within or outside LION. Both research projects include a master’s thesis and an oral presentation.
The programme should have sufficient level and cohesion, and the elective part in all cases requires approval of the Board of Examiners in advance.
