Thanks to an in-depth coverage of the various fields of physics (optics, electricity, mechanics, quantum physics, physics of materials,...), this open and comprehensive training will prepare the student towards a broad spectrum of  professional  and industrial specializations, as well as advanced technology activities featuring a strong “research” bias. It is based on a close dialogue between the formal representation of concepts within the field, the implementation of numerical simulation tools to grasp the consequences of these representations, and also experimentation via practical tutorials. Throughout the training, the student will have many opportunities to frequent experimental labs, to put formal learning into practice, and to implement cutting-edge research tools within these application fields. A traineeship in industry or in a research lab in Belgium or abroad can complement the training.

The student’s curriculum will consist of at least 120 credits covering two years, with a minimum of 60 credits per year, and comprising :
• a core curriculum of at least 53 credits, including a final thesis, compulsory courses, and general interest electives;
• a 30-credit specialization;
• specialized elective courses, or one or more additional options (each totalling at least 20 credits, except for the management option) chosen from amongst the 8 options of the curriculum (nanotechnology, materials science, applied physics, basic physics, numerical modelling, optics, management or launching of small and medium-sized companies).

The final thesis is generally written during the last year. However, students may choose to take any given course in the first or second year, subject to possible prerequisites. This will be the case in particular for students pursuing part of their education abroad.

If, in the course of his (her) former curriculum, a student has already been credited with a subject included in the compulsory core curriculum, or any training deemed equivalent, this subject will be replaced by elective courses, while conforming to imposed constraints. The student is responsible for checking whether the minimum total number of credits has been reached, as well as those of the specialized field, which will appear on the final diploma.
The student’s curriculum will be submitted for acceptance by the Applied physics and chemistry diploma committee, using an ad hoc form to be found on the website of the committee.

Accessible complementary Master’s degrees: Master’s degrees in nanotechnology and nuclear engineering, biotechnology and applied biology, once they have been set up, will be natural extensions of the curriculum.
Accessible Ph. D. curricula : by virtue of its training towards and via research, the Master’s in applied physics engineering gives its students an excellent preparation towards Ph. D. studies. Instructors involved in the Master’s are members of the MAIN ("materials, interfaces and nanotechnology") doctoral school, which is there to welcome students who wish to further their studies via a Ph. D.

The continuing education interuniversity institute  (IUFC) has recently defined university certificates in the field of materials engineering  (see http://www.web-o-net.org/emailing/iufc/materiaux/). These certificates are meant for various graduate adults, university or industrial engineers or bioengineers. An update of these certificates will  follow the new curriculum proposed by the MAPR department.

Specific procedures :

A student with no major in applied chemistry and physics from UCL, nor any option deemed equivalent, shall submit an application to the Faculty of applied sciences, including a detailed past curriculum (courses and grades by year). Engineering Bachelors are exempted from this procedure, if they have a minor in applied chemistry and physics from UCL, or an option deemed equivalent. The Faculty, after consulting the Applied chemistry and physics diploma committee (FYKI), will decide as to the applicant’s admissibility, pursuant to rules relative to links between degrees. Moreover, the Faculty can propose a customized curriculum, by drawing on the volume of elective courses of the FYAP curriculum and, if necessary, up to 15 additional credits. For some students (e.g. bachelors in industrial engineering), the Faculty might require an additional year of studies prior to the Master’s, corresponding to 60 credits of the major in applied chemistry and physics.

. Features favouring interdisciplinarity :

The Master’s in applied physics is intrinsically interdisciplinary, since it is located at the interface between physics and materials science. It features a comprehensive base allowing the student to acquire the basics of the main application fields of applied physics, a training through practice and cutting edge research, and various options in each field of physics and materials science: nano-technology, materials science, numerical modelling, basic and applied physics and optics. Access to the field of management is included via options in management and the launching of small and medium-sized companies. The curriculum features a significant fraction of PHYS (or PHY) courses, as well as a few MATH, INMA, and MECA courses, bearing witness to the intent of being trans-disciplinary. What’s more, the curriculum permits to chooses up to 39 elective credits from amongst the UCL exact or medical sciences curricula, and up to 6 credits in the humanities, which allows a student to customize a curriculum depending on personal choices.

. Variety of teaching situations :

The pedagogy implemented in the engineering Master’s curriculum is aligned with that of the engineering Bachelor’s curriculum: active learning, a balanced mix of group and individual work, and substantial time devoted to the development of non-technical competencies. A salient feature of the curriculum is the immersion of students in the research laboratories of the various instructors (during teaching laboratory sessions, case studies, projects and final thesis), which allows them to become familiar with up-to-date methods in the related fields, and to learn through the questioning approach which is inherent to research. An optional 10-credit training period, to be performed for at least 2 months in a research centre or a company, will allow a motivated student to experience a professional environment.

. Variety of learning situations :

The student will encounter a variety of pedagogical tools tailored to the various disciplines : formal lectures, individual projects in small groups, tutorials, project-based learning, case studies, experimental laboratory work, computer simulations, teachware, industrial or research training, visits to industries, individual and group work, seminars given by outside scientists, etc.
This variety of situations will help students to build their knowledge in an iterative and progressive manner, while developing their autonomy, organizational skills, time management, and capacity to use various modes of communication, etc.

All learning activities are assessed as prescribed by the University internal regulations (see exam regulations), viz. written and oral exams, laboratory exams, individual or group work, public presentation of projects and final thesis.
Detailed assessment rules will be made clear by each individual instructor, at the first lecture.

Global framework

The Faculty of Applied Sciences has taken part, since their inception, in all the various mobility programmes which have been set up at both the European and world levels.

The numerous contacts it has with professional circles, notably via its Advisory Board, have demonstrated to what extent employers are favourably impressed by a mobility experience in someone’s CV. The ever-increasing internationalization of research via networks linking laboratories throughout the world, speaks in favour of encouraging this mobility.

Students’ interest is aroused at the end of their Bachelor studies, notably via intensive courses such as those of the ATHENS ( ) or BEST ( ) networks.

In the course of the two-year Master’s programme, students are encouraged to take part in a 1- or 2-semester exchange scheme

Within Belgium, the Faculty of Applied Sciences is involved in a privileged partnership with the Faculteit Ingenieurswetenschappen of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, with whom it has set up an exchange scheme relating to the first year of the Master’s curriculum (http://eng.kuleuven.be/).

At the European level, the Faculty of Applied Sciences is strongly involved in the CLUSTER excellence network ( ). This network encourages internal mobility, since this is a guarantee of quality as concerns both the level of teaching and the hosting of exchange students. Moreover, Cluster partners have signed an agreement recognizing each other’s Bachelor’s curricula. This agreement stipulates that all Bachelors of network institutions will have access to the Master’s studies in any institution on a par with local students.

Outside Europe, the Faculty of Applied Sciences is a partner in the Magalhaes network, which groups about fifteen European universities together with the best South American science and technology universities (http://www.magalhaes-network.net/).

Besides these network partnerships, the Faculty has also signed a number of individual agreements with various universities in Europe, North America or elsewhere in the world. A list of these agreements may be found on the website of UCL International Relations (http://www.uclouvain.be/international.html).

UCL is also a partner in the TIME programme ( ) which gives students the opportunity to obtain two engineering degrees, via a specifically tailored curriculum.

Specific features of the FYAP Master’s:

Moreover, in order to further the insertion of the Master’s into international programmes, all first semester MAPR courses are taught in English, unless all attendees decide otherwise at the outset, out of respect for non-French speaking participants. However, all second semester MAPR courses are taught in French, unless all attendees decide otherwise at the outset.

International possibilities (for UCL students)

Besides intensive courses which are one component of international relations, EPL students with outstanding results are encouraged to apply for 5- or 10-month exchange programmes.
When taking place during the first Master’s year, exchanges are generally 10 months long. In the second year, they only last for a semester, either as courses or else research in a foreign laboratory as a complement to the final thesis.

Some other more specific exchange programmes have been set up with South America, where the academic year is naturally on an “austral” basis.

Students are informed about the various exchange programmes as from their second Bachelor’s year. They are encouraged to prepare for their exchange in a timely manner, notably by taking language courses at the Modern Languages Institute of UCL.

International appeal (for non-residents)

As described below, the University of Louvain (UCL) has developed a long-standing experience of greeting foreign students within the framework of international or exchange programmes. The "Master in Chemical and Materials Engineering" fits within this general tradition, and offers the student a top-notch programme in Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, encompassing a wide field of scientific activities in Applied Physics and Chemistry. Admission requires approval by the Committee for Engineering Studies in Chemistry and Physics, on the basis of a comprehensive résumé submitted by the student pursuant to the general regulations of the University of Louvain published on www.uclouvain.be.

To facilitate the integration of foreign students, courses are given in English during the first and third semesters of the Master’s (this rule may be relaxed for some courses at the onset of the semester, if so decided by ALL participating students). This allows non-French-speaking students to begin their Master’s studies under the best conditions, while upgrading their knowledge of French by following French-as-a-Foreign-Language classes (see below) or by immersion into the student life of Louvain-la-Neuve. However, the courses of the second and fourth semesters are given in French (unless decided otherwise by all participating students), which provides foreign students with a unique opportunity to master French, one of the important official languages of the European Union.

The curriculum consists of a large number of elective courses which allow students to set up a customized programme based on their previous learning experience, and comprises an optional traineeship in industry, 30 credits of work in research laboratories, and projects giving a more practical bent to the training. The instructors of the Master’s in Chemical and Materials Science Engineering are recognized scientists, with track records of excellence in applied chemistry and physics, as testified by their integration into European networks of excellence (FAME, NANOBEAMS, NANOQUANTA), their participation in international research programmes, their numerous contracts with European industrial companies, and their large number of publications in high ranking scientific journals including Nature, Science, Nature Materials, Physical Review Letters, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Nano Letters, etc. This not only ensures that the most recent scientific advances in the fields of chemistry and physics are passed on to the students, but also that students are introduced to typical industrial concerns, issues and recent developments.

Partner programmes

- With European institutions
FYKI is currently concentrating on setting up partnership programmes with European institutions, in the fields of chemistry and materials science (refer to engineering Master’s in chemistry and materials science for further details). Parts of these programmes will also be accessible to FYAP students, via Erasmus exchanges. The possibility of including the Master’s engineering degree in applied physics within the framework of international Master’s will be examined later.

- TIME programme with :

- Ecole Centrale Paris
- Supaero Toulouse
- Universidad Politecnica de Madrid
- Politecnico di Milano
- Politecnico di Torino

-The EPL has also signed a specific convention with the Institut Français du Pétrole (http://www.ifp.fr/) which allows the possibility of combining the second Master’s year with the first year of the complementary programme at IFP.
