Access to the programme

Open admission.

Quotas reserved for non-EU students residing abroad: 50 seats, of which 3 are reserved for Chinese students living in China, under the Marco Polo Project.

Admission procedures are available at the designated admission and enrolment page.

Admission requirements

To access the course, an adequate knowledge of basic mathematics, capacity for abstraction and methodological rigour is required.
Knowledge of basic mathematics, capacity for abstraction and methodological rigour will be tested by means of a national TOLC-I test provided by CISIA, which is not compulsory to proceed with enrolment. 
Students who do not possess this knowledge will be assigned Additional Learning Requirements (OFA).
OFA assessment methods and the exam session and remedial course calendars are described in the OFA section of the Study page.  
 

Admission with international qualification

Applicants with international qualification must have obtained a secondary school diploma after having completed at least 12 years of schooling. The preliminary evaluation of the qualification is mandatory. Procedures and deadlines are available on the online platform Apply.
Further details are available at the designated admission and enrolment with an international qualification page. 

Course overview

Engineering Physics graduates combine their knowledge of fundamental physics with that of computer science and electronics, thus being able to use an appropriate language in different scientific fields. The course is characterised by three innovative paths: Quantum Materials and Technology, Quantitative Biology, and Physics of Finance and Economics.
The path in Quantum Materials and Technology is designed to address the challenges of the second quantum revolution and focuses on quantum computation, quantum communications, in particular quantum optics, and the study of the physics of advanced materials, such as superconductors.
The path in Quantitative Biology aims to train engineers and physicists with strong skills in biology through teaching in bioinformatics, computational biomolecular design, biomolecular engineering, neuroimaging, and bioelectronics. Within this path, students can access a joint path in Physics of the Brain offered in collaboration with SISSA – Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (International School for Advanced Studies) in Trieste 
The path in Physics of Finance and Economics focuses instead on the study of complexity sciences applied to economics and finance, with a particular focus on sustainability
The Master's degree programme in Engineering Physics is taught in English.
 

Curricula

  • Quantum Materials and Technology;
  • Quantitative Biology (joint path in Physics of the Brain in collaboration with SISSA – Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati);
  • Physics of Finance and Economics

Examination assessment and graduation

The educational activities include classroom teaching, workshops and internships, in order to acquire wide-ranging skills that can be readily transferable into the world of work.
During the whole university career, the various skills and knowledge acquired by students will be assessed through written and oral examinations.
The degree exam consists in writing a thesis, which must possess the characters of originality, exhaustive documentation and scientific investigation and which will be discussed with a committee of university professors and experts.

Access to further studies

Professional Master's Programmes (1st and 2nd level) and PhD programmes

Occupational profiles

Graduates in Engineering Physics can work in: large Italian and foreign companies in the field of materials engineering, optical and quantum technologies, as well as in the electronics and telecommunications sectors; national and international companies operating in strategic and industrial consulting; private and public research centres; hospitals and hospital research centres using advanced diagnostic and treatment instruments and data analysis; technology start-ups.

"Mathematical-Physical Modelling for Engineering" corresponds to a new professional figure which is not yet included in the traditional engineering classes. As a result, the Master's degree does not give access to the State Examinations for the profession of engineer, nor to the corresponding Professional Orders for Section A.
