The PhD Programme in Physics provides a strong interdisciplinary education in applied Physics and Engineering methodologies. It consists of courses and of the development of the PhD thesis. The courses are both on topics specifically characterizing the PhD Programme and on transdisciplinary topics of general interest (20 credits overall, typically offered at Campus Leonardo). The development of the PhD thesis represents the major student’s activity (160 credits) and includes experimental research work and training activities on selected research topics in the following areas: Ultrafast optics and spectroscopy; Solid state lasers and photonic devices; Photonics for health, food and cultural heritage; Epitaxial growth and nanostructure fabrication; Electronic, optical and magnetic properties of low-dimensional systems. The PhD Programme aims at the development of an experimental approach in problem solving techniques and at the attainment of a high level of professional qualification.

More programs from the university

The "Laurea" (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) programme is an undergraduate degree obtained after a three-year course of study and aims to provide a solid foundation in the core scientific subjects as well as more specialized, professional training. During the third year, the student is expected to acquire work experience by doing an internship at a company or studio. Once the student obtains the "Laurea", he/she can either directly enter the job market or continue his/her studies by the applying to the "Laurea Magistrale" (equivalent to Master of Science).

For more information on the available programmes and on the application procedure, please check the university website.

The "Laurea Magistrale" degree (equivalent to Master of Science) is obtained after two years of postgraduate studies and aims to provide rigorous, advanced training in specific sectors.

Once completed, the Laurea Magistrale programme gives access to a Doctoral programme.

The majority of Politecnico di Milano Laurea Magistrale programmes are taught in English.
