Master's degree in Engineering Physics

Barcelona School of Telecommunications Engineering (ETSETB)

The master's degree in Engineering Physics (master's degree website) is oriented towards frontier engineering based on advanced education in physics. Specialist engineering fields such as nanotechnology, nanoelectronics and biomedical engineering require an ever-growing number of professionals who have extensive training in advanced physics and sound knowledge of quantum physics, complex system physics and device physics, which can be applied both at the nanoscopic scale and in large-scale facilities.

Applicants must prove that they have a bachelor's degree in Physics or Engineering Physics, or a related degree in Engineering or Basic or Applied Sciences.
