Course overview

The aim of the Master's Degree in Engineering Physics is to train a modern and cosmopolitan professional figure (thanks also to the fact that the course is taught entirely in English) suitable for tackling issues pertaining to advanced technologies, be they related to quantum physics and matter physics, and to the sciences of complexity, with knowledge of advanced computer science and electronics also in areas such as biophysics and biomedicine, and social sciences such as economics and finance. The choice of holding the course in English is a testament to the fact that the course aims at attracting high-level international students (especially European), whom Ca' Foscari will train to be competitive when it comes to both the market and the most advanced international research.

The Master's Degree Programme in Engineering Physics is characterised by the three innovative curricula not currently present in Italy and internationally: Quantum Science and Technology, Physics of the Brain and Physics of Finance and Economics. The Quantum Science and Technology curriculum is designed to address contemporary technological challenges. The Physics of the Brain curriculum, organised in collaboration with the Scuola internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA) of Trieste, an international education and research institute, aims to provide students with the most advanced tools for diagnostics and analysis of the most complex biological system: the brain. The Physics of Finance and Economics curriculum focuses on the study of the complexity sciences, which in this case are applied to social sciences: economics and finance.

Curricula available

• Quantum Science and Technology
• Physics of Finance and Economics
• Physics of the Brain

Occupational profiles

Graduates in Engineering Physics can work in: large Italian and foreign companies in the field of materials engineering, optical and quantum technologies, as well as in the electronics and telecommunications sectors; national and international companies operating in strategic and industrial consulting; private and public research centres; hospitals and hospital research centres using advanced diagnostic and treatment instruments and data analysis; technology start-ups.

"Mathematical-Physical Modelling for Engineering" corresponds to a new professional figure which is not yet included in the traditional engineering classes. As a result, the Master's degree does not give access to the State Examinations for the profession of engineer, nor to the corresponding Professional Orders for Section A.

Attendance

Open, but attendance to laboratory is compulsory.

Examination assessment and graduation

The educational activities include classroom teaching, workshops and internships, in order to acquire wide-ranging skills that can be readily transferable into the world of work.
During the whole university career, the various skills and knowledge acquired by students will be assessed through written and oral examinations.
The degree exam consists in writing a thesis, which must possess the characters of originality, exhaustive documentation and scientific investigation and which will be discussed with a committee of university professors and experts.
