The M.Sc. program “Physics and Technological Applications” is, from 2005 until today, the continuation and evolution of the first pre-doctoral graduate program in Physics, founded and organized in Greece by N.C.S.R. ‘Democritos’ in late 1960s, with the synergy, among others, of the National Technical University of Athens. Graduates of this historical curriculum have successfully staffed all the Departments of Physics and Research Centers of the country, while many have very successful careers abroad.
The main objective of our M.Sc. program is the strengthening, at postgraduate level, of basic research in physics and at the same time, the cultivation of its technological applications that are treated by the collaborating Institute of Nuclear & Particle Physics and the departments of applied mathematics, natural sciences and mechanical engineering of NTUA.
Internationally, although this postgraduate program is characterized as a Master of Science in Physics, it is essentially a higher, pre-doctoral curriculum, similar to the corresponding postgraduate programs of other european and american universities.
The mandatory courses in the fall semester are electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, statistical physics and free elective courses such as theoretical mechanics, interaction of ionizing radiation with matter, experimental methods, advanced nuclear power plants and quantum field theory.
In the spring semester quantum mechanics (II) is mandatory with many free elective courses such as electromagnetism (II), solid state physics, radio environmental analysis, elementary particles, nuclear physics, experimental methods (II), mathematical methods of physics, physics of lasers, instrumentation, magnetic materials, nuclear fusion reactors, quantum field theory (II), general relativity, medical applications of ionizing radiations and computational and statistical physics.
