Study Details: MSc 2 years full-time, 120 ECTS, Aalborg
The Master’s Programme in Applied Physics at Aalborg University, Denmark, aims at combining practical engineering skills with a fundamental physical understanding of underlying principles. For example, design of electronic circuits, semiconductor devices and optical components can be greatly improved via proper understanding of the physical laws governing electric fields and materials.
The Master’s Degree in Applied Physics is focused on practical and theoretical studies of devices and technologies including fabrication, characterisation and simulation.
The programme is open to international and Danish students.
Please make sure you send your application form and further documentation via post to the International Office by the required deadline.
Furthermore please note the official language requirements for international students applying to Aalborg University. You must complete and pass one of the following:
Students with a relevant Bachelor’s Degree in e.g. electrical engineering, materials science or natural science can apply. It is expected that you come with a solid background in mathematics and physics.
For further information regarding deadlines and requirements please see the website How to apply to Aalborg University.
Students from outside EU/EEA please see http://www.apply.aau.dk/how-to-apply-postgraduate/tuition-fee/
With a Master’s degree in Applied Physics, you can enter all engineering fields that are physics related such as optics, material science, and electronics. You will be able to contribute new knowledge and methods as well as look at different ideas from a new perspective, which can help to develop new products.
Applied Physics at Aalborg University is a two-year Master’s programme consisting of four semesters. During the first three semesters, you will divide your time equally between courses and project. The courses will give you the basic knowledge and the projects will allow you to dig deep into the matter and focus firmly on particular subjects.
You will become experienced in advanced methods for synthesis and characterisation of materials from macro to nanoscale. Focus is on Optical spectroscopy, Nanolithography and Advanced microscopy (e.g. electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy). The courses cover materials chemistry, synthesis and characterisation as well as semiconductor physics.
You will obtain experience with advanced methods in creating functional materials and nanostructures. In addition, possible applications and materials properties (electronic, magnetic, chemical, etc.) will be investigated. Through application of micro- and macroscopic modelling, you will be able to describe the properties and functionality of nanostructures. The courses cover surface science and nano-optics.
You will apply physics to a chosen technological area. Focus is on applied aspects of nanotechnology. You will use different tools from physics to find solutions to an actual problem. The courses cover continuum mechanics, nano-electronics and optoelectronics.
This semester is devoted to the Master’s Thesis.
