Overview
PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
Would you like to be someone who helps sustainable technology research take important leaps forward? Do you want to work as a scientist and engineer in the fields of biomedicine and finance? To help you achieve these goals, this programme offers three innovative curricula in the fields of modern physics and engineering and the science of complex systems. All three curricula are pioneering, offering an educational experience not yet available elsewhere, and they are designed to shape the next generation of academics and professionals capable of tackling the challenges of the twenty-first century.
The curriculum in Quantum Science and Technology (EXPLORE THE STUDY PLAN) trains you to be an expert in the fields of modern physics, computer science, electronics and telecommunication systems, preparing you for a career at a high-tech company or research institute.
The curriculum focusing on the Physics of Finance and Economics (EXPLORE THE STUDY PLAN) is offered in collaboration with Ca’ Foscari’s Department of Economics. It will make you an expert with both a strong physics background and the ability to apply this background in the fields of sustainable finance and economics.
The Physics of the Brain curriculum (EXPLORE THE STUDY PLAN) is carried out in collaboration with the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste (Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati, or SISSA), where part of your training takes place. This curriculum is designed to allow you to apply a strong training in physics to the study of the human brain by equipping you with expertise in the use of experimental and theoretical tools for the investigation of any biological systems. The toolkit you acquire prepares you to work at companies and research institutes focusing on biomedical applications, and upon completing your studies, you receive not only your master’s degree diploma, but also a diploma issued by the SISSA.
Programme structure
