Profile of the programme
|
The 2nd Cycle in Physics and Applications aims to train masters with advanced knowledge and skills in Physics that will enable them to understand, formulate and solve theoretical and practical problems using Physics and its methods.
This cycle of studies allows the choice of training options in different areas of theoretical and applied Physics, and Computer Science, creating a broader knowledge base that is more appealing to the current job market. As well as being able to continue their studies in a third cycle in Physics or other areas where a solid background in Physics is essential, students will be able to enter the job market directly in areas of activity where there is a marked growth in demand for professionals with advanced scientific training and skills in solving real practical problems. |

This cycle of studies will mainly take place at the University's Pole I, with access to classrooms, amphitheatres and rooms with computers.
Also at Pole I is the UBI Optics Centre, with several applied optics laboratories.
UBImedical is home to LABEXPORAD - Laboratório de Estudos dos Efeitos do Radão
The Physics Department is home to the Department's secretariat, lecturers' offices, teaching and research laboratories and the student centre.
The UBI Central Library, located in Pole I, is a noble space with an excellent bibliographic collection, wireless network, dozens of computers, excellent conditions for research, individual study and group work, and a printing and digitalisation system.
Throughout the University there is wireless access with e-U connectivity and permanent internet access. |
