Educational objectives

The Course is held in Udine and Trieste. You will learn experimental analysis methods and modern technologies, and acquire a rigorous understanding of the theoretical elements and methods of Maths and IT. The Course is organized into three curricula with 5 distinct specializations, which reflect the research activities in physical disciplines carried out by the two Universities and the numerous national and international research bodies found in the Region, and with which there are collaboration agreements. To perfect your preparation, the Course comprises advanced Quantum Theory, mathematical models, modern physics, and physical experimentation methods. You will also study Chemistry, Computer Science, Biophysics, Mathematics, and Geophysics. Some of the courses will be broadcast in both universities. Laboratory activities include lessons and practical experiments, data analysis or numerical simulations. The thesis preparation work takes up most of the second year and is carried out within a research group.
Graduates in Physics can access a broad range of jobs in organization and planning, and have good prospects of obtaining managerial positions. In particular, they can do research at national and international research centers, research at University, work in the field of promoting and developing scientific and technological innovation, or work in the field of radiology in hospitals.

Professional opportunities

Graduates in Physics can access - either directly after their studies or after completing higher levels of education or qualification – a broad range of jobs in organization and planning, and have good prospects of obtaining managerial positions. In particular, they can:
- do fundamental and applied research at national and international research centers working in the scientific field;
-access a university career;
-work in the field of promoting and developing scientific and technological innovation;
-plan and manage technologies in fields related to physics, energy and the industrial production of high-tech goods;
-detect and control the physical phenomena which are crucial for environmental protection and radioprotection in public and private organizations;
- work in the field of radiologic diagnostics in hospitals;
- develop software for the analysis of complex systems in private or public calculus centers, or possibly in various financial fields;
- spread scientific culture and, in particular, the theoretical, experimental and applicative aspects of classical and modern Physics, at a high level.
Graduates can also seek a teaching career in schools after having completed the teaching qualification procedure, in compliance with the legislation in force.
