This program provides students with a strong foundation in theoretical and experimental high-energy particle physics—an area focused on understanding the fundamental particles and forces of the universe—while actively involving them in research through R&D projects and a dissertation on a specific HEP topic.
By joining this program, you become part of an international scientific community, working on projects that span continents and push the boundaries of what we know. You'll gain hands-on experience with advanced technologies, learn to analyze complex data, and develop problem-solving skills that are prized not only in academia, but also in industries like tech, finance, and engineering.
