This Master's programme in Physics and Astronomy programme at Radboud University studies the interface between physics and astronomy, mathematics, chemistry and biology. You can choose from six specialisations to define your field of interest within Physics and Astronomy:
Particle and Astrophysics
Although particle physics and astrophysics act on completely different length and time scales, they both use the laws of physics to study the universe. In the Particle and Astrophysics Master's specialisation at Radboud University you’ll dive into these extreme worlds and unravel the inner workings of the universe from the smallest to the largest systems.
Neurophysics
Our brain contains many ingenious networks of billions of interconnected neurons. Together, they have an information processing capacity and flexibility that far exceeds modern supercomputers, or any artificial intelligent system. In this specialisation, we aim at unravelling the neuro-computational mechanisms of this fascinating, complex system using experimental approaches, advanced theory and computational models.
Physics of Molecules and Materials
As a scientist, you’re a problem solver. But how do you tackle a problem when there are no adequate theories and calculations become far too complicated? In the specialisation in Physics of Molecules and Materials you’ll be trained to take up this challenge in a field of physics that is still largely undiscovered: the interface between quantum and classical physics.
Science in Society
Science and technology have a profound influence on society, but the reverse is also true: society significantly shapes the ways in which science and technology evolve. However, experience shows that scientists on the one hand and the general public, government and businesses on the other aren’t always able to clearly understand one another. That is why experts with a background in science and an understanding of social processes are indispensable. This specialisation will equip you with the knowledge, tools and skills to be a professional intermediary between science and society whilst getting a broader societal perspective.
Science, Management and Innovation
In Science, Management and Innovation (SMI) you will gain expertise in societal challenges, work on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and learn the ability to speak the language of policy and business.
