More fundamental courses on the physics of matter are followed by specialized teaching on the main physical platforms and the main theoretical approaches, also with experimental and computational laboratory courses.
You can create your personalized study plan made of 13 courses, focusing on either experimental or theoretical aspects, or mixing both of them.
