Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
- Master expertise.
- Have acquired knowledge and a thorough understanding of specialist areas of physics in connection with mathematics and/or advanced laboratory practices required for these sectors.
- Have reached a level of knowledge and skill giving them access to the third cycle of the study programme / doctoral studies (only for two-year Master courses).
- Provide clear and accurate information.
- Share their knowledge and findings clearly and back them up rationally to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
- Grow personally and professionally.
- Have developed the skills that will enable them to continue to acquire knowledge independently.
