The programme leading to the Master's [60] degree in physics includes :
- 30 credits of specialized training in physics, to be chosen from a list of teaching units organized into subject blocks,
- 2 credits of training in human sciences, to be chosen from a list of teaching units,
- 18 credits of activities related to the Master’s thesis,
- 10 credits of elective teaching units, to be selected from a list of teaching units organized into subject blocks.
Typical programmes, according to the different orientations of the research in physics carried out at UCLouvain, are proposed on the website of the School of Physics in the "Education and Training" section. There are nine of them. They relate to :
- statistical physics and mathematical physics,
- formal aspects of fundamental interactions,
- theory and phenomenology of fundamental interactions,
- experimentation in physics of fundamental interactions,
- instrumentation in physics of fundamental interactions,
- atomic, molecular physics and optics from the theoretical point of view,
- atomic, molecular physics and optics from the experimental point of view,
- physical climatology,
- physics of the Earth and planets.
