Key Summary

About: This Master in Physics programme is offered by The Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris), a science and technology institute made up of six French engineering schools. Established May 2019, IP Paris capitalizes on 200 years of expertise from its founding schools. The programme description lists assets but does not detail them.

Career Outcomes: Graduates often move into research, academia, industry R&D, engineering, data science, or technology development. Typical pathways include doctoral study, scientific research positions, applied physics roles, instrumentation, optics, computational modeling, and high-tech engineering jobs. Employers include universities, public research laboratories, energy, aerospace, electronics and software companies; consultancy, patent support and science communication roles are also possible.

The Physics program is designed for students interested in theoretical physics, mathematical physics, particle physics and astrophysics, nanosciences, optics, and plasma physics. It provides high-level training in both experimental and theoretical physics.

The first year of this program is structured into two tracks: general physics and high energy physics. The second year gives access to more specialized tracks in high energy, quantum, materials and nanosciences, quantum devices, physics of plasma and fusion, etc.This prestigious program relies on the Institut Polytechnique de Paris’s top-level research laboratories.

 For students aiming to pursue a PhD after their master’s degree, the program is affiliated with four PhD track programs for early research immersion: Physics, Advanced materials, Quantum science and technologies, and Bioengineering and Quantitative Life Sciences. These PhD track programs offer excellence scholarships and registration fee waivers.
