PhD Program The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree requires a thorough understanding of the foundations of physics and mathematical methods as evidenced by performance on the written Preliminary Exam and the oral Qualifying Exam, as well as submission of a dissertation which must include an original contribution to fundamental physics.
Graduate Program. The Physics Department offers a PhD in Physics with an optional MA degree. Our research specialties include experimental particle physics, particle astrophysics, theoretical particle physics and cosmology, molecular biophysics, experimental biophysics, experimental condensed matter physics, theoretical quantum condensed matter physics, statistical physics, polymer physics and.
The Department of Physics offers programs in physics and applied physics which lead to the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Our graduate students take part in active research, which gives them study opportunities at the forefront of physics. Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Physics Areas of Study. Atomic and optical physics.
Astroparticle PhD Program. Astroparticle Physics was chosen as one of the preeminent interests of SISSA for the next future. It is an interdisciplinary field merging astrophysics, cosmology, and particle physics, aims at addressing fundamental issues ranging from origin of the universe and the nature of gravity to the understanding of dark matter and dark energy.
The PhD-program in physics provides an education within experimental and theoretical physics and aims at giving the candidates a broad professional background in physics. The candidate can focus the program towards a variety of topics based on ongoing research activities at the Department of Physics.
Description. Astroparticle Physics is one of NSU’s leading subjects for future research and study. It is an interdisciplinary field combining astrophysics, cosmology, and particle physics, aimed at addressing fundamental and phenomenological issues from the origin and evolution of the universe to the study of dark matter and dark energy.
Our graduate program offers PhD and MS degrees in Physics and Chemical and Materials Physics through a flexible program that provides a broad, advanced education while allowing the opportunity to focus on specialized interests via a mixture of graduate lecture courses, research training, and other career development resources.
PhD students in Physics must pass the following core courses or demonstrate that they have passed equivalent courses elsewhere: One quarter of classical mechanics (Physics 411-0) Three quarters of quantum mechanics (Physics 412-1,2,3) Two quarters of classical electrodynamics (Physics 414-1,2) One quarter of statistical mechanics (Physics 416-0).
