UNIVERSITY: Universidad Autónoma de Madrid
LENGTH: 60 ECTS
ADDRESSED TO: The recommended profile for entry to this Master’s Degree is a graduate in Physics or Materials Sciences (for both specialities), in Biology, Biochemistry or Biotechnology (for the speciality of Biophysics). Moreover, as this is a Master’s Degree that represents an introduction to research, it is recommendable that have a good capacity for work, an interest in pluridisciplinary studies, a critical spirit, personal initiative, creativity and a capacity for argumentation and communication.
DESCRIPTION: The ultimate aim of the Master in Physics of Condensed Matter and Biological Systems is training future researchers of excellence in the areas of knowledge related to the program.
The Master has a strong multidisciplinary character and offers two specializations: Nanophysics and Biophysics.
Within the Nanophysics specialization, the student will acquire a wide range of basic, methodological, and technological knowledge and skills related to the study of the properties of solids and liquids, as well as in the area of nanoscience
In the Biophysics specialization, the students will gain a quantitative understanding of biological organisms, systems, and processes from the point of view of physics, as well as of the most advanced physical techniques used in their study. Emphasis will be given not only to theoretical knowledge but also to computational and experimental tools.
