The Physics master's programme offers you a research-intensive tailor-made study path on current topics in experimental and theoretical physics at an institute of international renown.
The Physics master's programme is intimately related to the scientific research carried out at the Leiden Institute of Physics. You will spend approximately 50% of your programme on research, as a member of one of our top-level international research groups. We offer six research specialisations, with emphasis on three experimental or theoretical physics, which train you as an independent researcher. We also offer three specialisations (including Education, Business Studies and Science Communication and Society) that put Physics in broader societal contexts and train you for careers where a Physics background is an asset. Each of these specialisations aims at providing a combination of research independence and content proficiency that fully prepares you for a successful professional development for your professional development.
Are you looking into furthering your education in fundamental questions in physics? Then our Physics master's programme is the right choice. Whether you are interested in experimental or theoretical research, or cosmology, we offer it all. You will be trained for a career in research within or outside academia.
