General and Specific Educational Objectives
The Master's Degree Program in Physics is designed to provide a deep and up-to-date specialized education across all sectors of contemporary physics. The specific educational objectives of the program aim to train graduates who:
- Possess a thorough understanding of classical, relativistic, and quantum physics, encompassing phenomenological and theoretical aspects, their mathematical formalization, and numerical modeling.
- Have solid knowledge of technologies and analytical methods for processing large amounts of structured and unstructured, and even heterogeneous, data.
- Are equipped with training that can easily adapt to technological and scientific innovations, applying scientific research methods to the modeling of complex systems, even in fields beyond traditional physics.
Specifically, the degree program aims to achieve the following objectives:
- Provide a solid cultural foundation in the fields of experimental and applied physics; theoretical and foundational physics; microphysics and material structure; astrophysics, geophysics, and space physics.
- Offer advanced scientific and operational training with significant expertise in at least one of the following areas: Astrophysics, Biophysics, Accelerator Physics, Plasma Physics, Complex Systems Physics, Nuclear Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Applied Physics for Medicine, Physics for Cultural Heritage, Experimental Particle Physics and Fundamental Interactions, Environmental Physics, Electronics, History and Teaching of Physics, Quantum Technologies, Theory of Fundamental Interactions, Models and Methods of Theoretical Physics, and Quantum Computing.
- Prepare graduates with a strong aptitude for problem-solving.
- Train graduates capable of describing natural phenomena rigorously using a mathematical-statistical approach, and of working autonomously, including taking managerial responsibility for projects.
- Equip graduates with tools for high-level scientific communication and dissemination.
- Prepare graduates with solid expertise in both content and methodologies for teaching.
These educational objectives are tailored to provide Physics graduates with a curriculum suitable for:
- Admission to third-level education programs, such as doctoral studies, medical physics specialization schools, and second-level master's programs.
- Entry into the workforce with qualifications for high-level professional roles involving research and development in science- and technology-based sectors (e.g., energy, electronics, mechanics, materials, telecommunications, environment, cultural heritage, medicine) or areas requiring data analysis and modeling of complex phenomena using scientific methods (e.g., economics and finance).
The program's educational offerings are closely linked to the research lines in physics developed at the university, ensuring students achieve solid scientific preparation and expertise in specific fields.
The academic pathway includes lectures, exercises, laboratory work, elective courses, participation in seminars, and internships. The program also includes related disciplines alongside in-depth English language proficiency.
The program covers the following learning areas:
- Experimental Physics Area for Specialized Training: To deepen knowledge in one of the specialized sectors listed above, aligned with the student's interests and the program's educational objectives.
- Theoretical Physics and Mathematical Physics Area: To advance knowledge in the foundational, theoretical, and mathematical aspects of physics, including advanced mathematics and methodologies for teaching technologies.
- Physics Laboratory Area for Research: Comprising advanced laboratory courses that typically provide access to instrumentation used by faculty and researchers in fundamental and applied research.
The program concludes with the preparation of a thesis, which may be carried out in university facilities or at external institutions such as qualified research entities, companies in the technological sector, organizations focused on environmental and/or cultural heritage preservation, hospitals, or banks. The thesis results are presented orally before a dedicated committee.
The degree program offers a choice of curricula:
1. A curriculum allowing the selection of courses focused on a specific area of physics, such as those listed above.
2. A curriculum offering a more uniform coverage of different fields, oriented toward teaching and scientific dissemination.

Enrolment
Admission requirements:
Bachelor's graduates in Physics (degree class L-30 and corresponding class pursuant to Ministerial Decree 509/99) can access the Master's degree programme in Physics.
Those who have a Bachelor's degree in another class can also access the programme, provided they have earned
- 24 CFU, i.e. university credits, in the scientific-disciplinary sectors (SSD) FIS/01-08, of which at least 12 in FIS/02 and at least 6 in total in FIS/03, FIS/04, FIS/05;

Admission assessment

Applicants must prove in-depth knowledge of classical physics and mathematical analysis, and basic knowledge of geometry, computer science, analytical mechanics, quantum mechanics, the structure of matter, nuclear and subnuclear physics, as well as laboratory work skills (data acquisition and processing).
All candidates will be assessed through an interview on subjects covered by the core courses of the aforementioned degree programme in Physics.
The interviewing board will include faculty members appointed by the Academic Board. The interview may also take place before graduation. However, the candidate must obtain their degree by 31 December 2025.

For the 2025/2026 academic year, interviews are scheduled on the following dates:

20 June 2025, 9.00 am
12 September 2025, 9.00 am
24 October 2025, 10:45 am
9 January 2026, 10:45 am


The interviews will take place online using the Zoom platform by connecting to the following link: https://zoom.us/my/aula.consiglio

Candidates who fail the interview, whether graduates or upcoming graduates, may not enrol on the Master's degree programme for the current year.

Proficiency in English at a B1 level or higher under the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is required for admission.
The B1-level requirement will be ascertained by the University Language Centre (SLAM) upon admission as follows:
- Language certificate at or above B1, obtained no more than three years earlier. For the list of language certificates recognized by the University please review: https://www.unimi.it/en/node/39267). The certificate must be uploaded when submitting the online application;
- English level achieved during a University of Milan degree programme and certified by the University Language Centre (SLAM) no more than four years before the date of admission application. In this case the process is automatic, the applicant does not have to attach any certificates to the application;
- Placement test administrated by the University Language Centre (SLAM) according to the calendar published on the website: https://www.unimi.it/en/node/39267
All those who fail to submit a valid certificate or do not meet the required proficiency level will be instructed during the admission procedure to take the placement test.
Applicants who do not take or pass the placement test will be required to obtain a language proficiency certificate recognized by the University (see: https://www.unimi.it/en/node/39322) and deliver it to the SLAM via the InformaStudenti service by the deadline fixed for the master's programme (https://www.unimi.it/en/node/39267).
Applicants who do not meet the requirement by said deadline will not be admitted to the master's degree programme and may not sit any further tests.
