MSc
Summary
Physics provides us with a model of the universe, on an incredible range of scales, from inside the nucleus of the atom towards the edge of the observable universe. Advances in Physics underpin many technological developments, for example our knowledge of electron transport in semiconductors has led us to the point where computer processors and memory are almost ubiquitous. This UCD MSc in Physics offers a negotiated learning (NL) model for students with a Physical Science or Engineering background that allows you to customise your learning path and to tailor what you learn to your own specific needs and career aspirations. It can prepare you either for further research in a PhD programme, or employment directly after graduation.
Offers specialisation in Space Science, Nano Bio Science and Nano Technology
This is a flexible programme where the students can design and control their training experience
The modules are delivered by research active international staff with worldwide reputation
This relatively new programme offers the possibility for graduates to go on to PhD programmes. The MSc will prepare you for employment in the semiconductor industry as a process engineer, the financial sector as a modelling and data expert, or as an engineer in the space sector. Prospective employers include Intel Ireland, Airbus, Analog Devices, Met Éireann, and companies in the Irish Financial Services Centre.
