Program Structure:

The curriculum of the Master of Science in Physics program is designed for two years, four semesters and consists of 33 credit hours, which is equivalent to 117-120 ECTS points, with sixty ECTS credits for compulsory and thirty ECTS for elective courses, and thirty ECTS credits for the master’s thesis. Ideally, students should take 3 courses each semester during the first 3 semesters and begin their thesis in the fourth semester while completing their studies within 2 years.
