Master-Old

Master in applied physics

Physics doesn't just reveal the secrets of the Universe. Through the application of its discoveries, it helps to tackle societal challenges by contributing to the economy, the health sector, and the protection of the environment.

The Applied Physics Department (GAP) was established in 1980 with the mission to ease the transition from basic physics to applications.

The Department houses truly diverse research approaches to increase the chances of technology transfer.
