The program of graduate education in Physics at The University of Pavia is designed to prepare students for professional leadership careers in science and technology. The program welcomes applications both from individuals who majored in physics and from those who have a strong interest in physics but may have majored in related disciplines. Our graduates acquire an academic background worthy of international respect and they have often risen to become leaders in industry and academia.
Research Fields
The Graduate Program in Physics at Pavia includes three main programs (curricula):
PHYSICS OF FUNDAMENTAL INTERACTIONS
CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS
INTERDISCIPLINARY AND APPLIED PHYSICS
Formative research activities in these programs occurs in an unusually broad range of experimental and theoretical areas covering
Hadronic Physics
High-Energy Physics
Condensed Matter and Materials
Photonics
Cosmology, Relativity, and Quantum Field Theory
Quantum Information and Computing
Energetics
Biomedical Physics
Econophysics
Interdisciplinary research is fostered and encouraged, and students have the chance to work on a wide range of forefront research, both on pure and applied fields.
