Profile
The MSc programme Physics offers 5 research-oriented specialisations where you can focus on Theoretical Physics, Quantum Matter and Optics, Biological and Soft Matter, Cosmology or Casimir pre-PhD. You can also combine Physics with education, management or science communication.Programme overviewThe MSc Physics programme offers eight specialisations:-Theoretical Physics: you follow a two-year programme constisting of 3/5ths of coursework and one 9month long project that prepares you for scientific research towards a PhD in a broad range of topics in theoretical Physics.-Quantum Matter and Optics: you follow a programme in experimental physics constisting of 50% course work and 2 research projects in Condensed Matter problems.-Biological and Soft Matter Physics: you follow a programme in experimental physics consisting of 50% coursework and 2 research projects in Biophysics or Soft Matter.-Cosmology: You follow a joined programme with the department of Astronomy where you cover all aspects of modern astrophysics and carry out research projects tackling observation, interpretation, simulation and theory.-Casimir pre-PhD: After entry to one of the Experimental or Theoretical Physics specialisations, you can be selected to the program that gives you the opportunity to raise the funds for a PhD on a topic of choice within the Casimir Research School (a collaboration between the University of Leiden and the Technical University of Delft) .-Physics and Science Based Business (SBB): You combine a training in Physics (1 year of courses and research project) with courses in business and entrepreneurship and an internship with a company-Physics and Education (in Dutch): You combine a training in Physics (1 year of courses and research project) with courses in education and a teaching internship at a Dutch highschool. It leads to a teaching qualification valid for secondary education.-Physics and Science Communication and Society (SCS): You combine a training in Physics (1 year of coursework and research project) with courses in communication and relating science to the public.
