Master programs and postgraduate courses in physics are advanced training courses dedicated to graduates with bachelor's or master's degree in science, mainly in physics and mathematics. Educational programs may include studies of astronomy, particle physics, structure of matter, thermodynamics, acoustics, optics, nuclear physics, electronics, materials science and more, depending on the type of course chosen by the students. Boys and girls fans of these materials can then decide to follow a doctorate to become in effect the physicists or researchers: in this case there are several options from theoretical physics to quantum or nuclear physics, to name a few.
Career opportunities
Graduates of these courses and master programs in physics have interesting employment opportunities, especially in research and development both at state institutions and corporations, in laboratories and private research centers. Teaching is also a possible career path.
