NU’s Master of Science in physics program is a two-year program. The objective of the graduate program is turning enrolled candidates into physicists prepared to pursue postgraduate education or better yet, careers in research and development companies or in the public sector.
Due to the student-centered approach for an optimal learning experience, classes are kept small so students can benefit from the positive academic relationship with their professors and receive tutoring personalized to their academic needs. Professors are also actively involved in the coursework of students both in the laboratory and their individual research projects.
A career in physics is exciting because physicists are trained to be natural problem solvers and creative thinkers. Economy is undergoing a transformation that reflects worldwide trends – the know-hows and technical innovations become the most important asset. In order to develop the necessary underlying technologies to support this transformation, highly skilled physicists and engineers are required.
The students will gain profound systematic knowledge in physics and develop the ability to identify and use theoretical knowledge in the context of real-life phenomena and engineering applications in technology innovation and entrepreneurship. The graduates are expected to acquire advanced analytical, mathematical, computational and experimental skills corresponding to the subjects of their Master projects.
Students are expected to become exposed to the international research environment. Besides pursuing doctoral degrees, graduates with an M.Sc. in physics from NU are individuals with honed research skills able to continuously make worthwhile contributions both at home and abroad in technology.
