Masters

Graduate study in the field of Applied Physics offers the opportunity to achieve proficiency in physics, mathematics, and applied science. Applied Physics is particularly suitable for students preparing for a scientific career in an area of applied science based on principles and techniques of physics. A student may choose for specialization and thesis or dissertation research any subject compatible with an approach based on the application of principles of physics and mathematics. Current areas of advanced study and research include applied theoretical physics, biophysics, chemical physics, physics of fluids, nuclear and reactor physics, optics, laser physics, plasma physics, solid-state physics, nano-science, and space physics. The two-year Master of Science program offers advanced study and training in three disciplines: Optics, Nanotechnology, and Biotechnology. These programs provide valuable training and research and design project experience.

Cornell University offers 80 undergraduate majors and 122 minors; a few of which are interdisciplinary or dual degree programs. To give you a sense of the type of programs Cornell University offers, here’s a selection of a few of their programs:

  • Feminist, gender and sexuality studies
  • Environmental engineering
  • Fiber science and apparel design
  • Global and public health sciences
  • Government
  • Policy analysis and management
  • Urban and regional studies.

All students, including internationals, are required to sit the SATs (that is, even if they’ve taken A levels or the International Baccalaureate). To apply, you would also need to submit English proficiency test results. Aim to score at least 100 in the internet-based exam, or 600 in the paper based exam in your TOEFL or at least 7 in the IELTS.

Cornell University offers a wide range of interesting graduate fields of study, including:

  • Asian literature, religion and culture
  • Astronomy and space sciences
  • Film and video studies
  • Medieval studies
  • Operations research and information engineering
  • Peace studies and peace sciences.

At graduate level, cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, book and supplies and room and board, ranges between US$ 29,500 and US$ 102,652. That being said, 97% of PhD students at Cornell University living on-campus receive funding covering their tuition, fees, health insurance and a stipend from the university.
