Curriculum | Material Science

During your Master’s in Applied Physics (AP), you will collect a total of 120 EC within two years. In addition to the compulsory courses of the Master’s in Applied Physics, you will follow additional courses within the specialisation in Materials Science. Your second year consists of an internship and your final master’s assignment.

European Credit Transfer System

Student workload at Dutch universities is expressed in EC, also named ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System), widely used throughout the European Union. In the Netherlands, each credit represents 28 hours of work. The recognition of credits is at the discretion of your Master's.

Internship

During your Master’s in Applied Physics, you will gain practical experience by doing an internship for approximately three months. Within the specialisation in Materials Science, there are many options open to you when it comes to choosing your internship.

Master's thesis

You will complete your Master’s by writing your master’s thesis. You will write your thesis under the supervision of a professor of one of the research groups and the choice of your graduation subject is largely up to you. You could tap into ongoing research on thin films, light-energy conversion, battery technologies, EUV and XUV lithography, topological superconductors, or challenging ‘supermaterials’ like graphene, an extremely conductive, strong, and yet flexible and lightweight type of material.
