The master’s in applied physics will help you develop new ways of answering questions like these: How can we send messages through space using light without being intercepted? Design new materials to store quantum information? Measure the concentration of key molecules characteristic of defective cells? The program will equip you with an in-depth understanding of the nature of physics as practised in the workplace, in an environment filled with entrepreneurial spirit.
