Presentation

Today, more than ever, the world needs professionals who can interpret and drive technological progress, tackling complex subjects such as quantum materials, computational biology, neuroscience, or network physics, all applied to finance, economics, and the digital world. Engineering Physics at Ca’ Foscari aims to train a new generation of engineers who are skilled, adaptable, and prepared to work in an international environment, where technology intersects with cutting-edge scientific research.

By combining fundamental scientific skills with engineering applications, you will gain solid knowledge of physics and mathematics as in a Physics degree, along with computer science and electronics, typical of Information Engineering. This programme develops versatile professionals capable of working in innovative fields such as quantum physics, advanced computing and electronics, biophysics, and biomedicine.

You will build a strong scientific foundation and a way of thinking that will allow you to apply what you have learnt across a variety of professional settings. You might choose to specialise in a variety of technological fields, such as materials science, computing, electronics, and automation, as well as the biomedical and biological sectors, or even corporate and IT consultancy.

If you choose to continue your studies, you can progress to the Master’s degree programme for further professional development. The Master’s Degree in Engineering Physics is delivered entirely in English and includes the following curricula: Quantum Materials and Technology, Quantitative Biology (with a joint curriculum in Physics of the Brain in collaboration with the International School for Advanced Studies – SISSA – in Trieste), and Physics of Finance and Economics.
Ca’ Foscari’s scientific sector is expanding rapidly, especially in physics and engineering, and includes faculty members who are recipients of prestigious European research grants.
