Master of Science in Ocean and Climate Physics. The Institute of Oceanography (IfM) at Universität Hamburg offers an international master's program (MSc) in Physical Oceanography and Climate Physics. This research-oriented four-semester program is directed to students with a B.Sc. degree in Physical Oceanography, Meteorology, Geophysics, Physics, or an equivalent subject and provides profound knowledge of the physics of the ocean and its role in the climate system.

Does your interest stretch from the infinitely small to the infinitely large? Choose between a minor in Research or Economy and Business, and get the chance to participate in high-level research. Experience small student groups which makes it possible to have close contact with the teaching staff.

Would you like to specialise in fundamental particle physics or dive into astrophysics, neurophysics or condensed matter physics? You choose! The Master's specialisations in Physics and Astronomy at Radboud University cover various research areas. You can dive into theoretical physics or perform your own experiments. Discover new material properties in Europe’s highest magnetic fields or with unique free electron lasers, study space objects with the with the world's largest telescopes or unravel brain activity with MRIs. At Radboud University, you can choose from six specialisations to define your field of interest within Physics and Astronomy.

This course is intended introduce graduates in theoretical physics, mathematics, and related disciplines to current ideas and methods at the forefront of modern theoretical physics and mathematics research.

In the track in Astronomy and Space Physics, you can study a broad range of topics from the physics of the Sun and solar system to stellar and galactic structure and evolution, as well as high energy astrophysics and cosmology.

The Master's degree in Physical and Astrophysical Sciences is a fundamental step for pursuing a Ph.D. in Physics and Astrophysics or related disciplines, specializing in Medical Physics, teaching physics and mathematics in secondary schools, or entering the workforce in research and development.

Taking advantage of generations of terrestrial and space-based instruments, the Master of Astronomy and Astrophysics trains students to study the origin, structure, and evolution of planets, stars, star systems, and the universe itself.

The master's degree Astrophysics, Particle Physics and Cosmology of the University of Barcelona is intended for holders of bachelor's degrees and equivalent undergraduate degrees (particularly in physics), engineers and technical engineers who wish to pursue a specialization in one of the following branches of knowledge: astrophysics and space sciences; atomic, nuclear and particle physics; or gravitation and cosmology. The duration and specific content will depend on each applicant's previous studies.

Studying an Applied Physics master's program merges the analytical depth of physics with practical engineering prowess, preparing you to address multifaceted challenges across high-tech industries. This interdisciplinary training in applied physics courses not only prepares you for innovative roles in applied physics fields such as aerospace, energy, and materials science but also offers enhanced career opportunities through Seton Hall's proximity to New York's vibrant industry sectors.

The focus of this field lies at the interface between physics, biology, and chemistry. The course builds on the basic physics education that deepens in the fields of theoretical and experimental physics important for the description and investigation of molecules, biopolymers, supramolecular systems, and biological objects. The graduate gains knowledge of quantum theory and statistical physics of molecules and molecular systems, experimental methods of biophysics and chemical physics, especially optical and other spectroscopic methods, structural analysis, and imaging techniques. Students choose one of two specializations: theoretical or experimental biophysics and chemical physics. In the theoretical specialization, they will gain deeper knowledge in the field of quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, or advanced theoretical spectroscopy; in the experimental specialization, they will acquire knowledge in the field of biochemistry and molecular biology, biophysics of photosynthesis, or structural methods. Through regular seminars, diploma theses, and thematic lectures students get an idea of the current problems solved in individual fields and methods of scientific work. Thanks to a wide range of knowledge, graduates have the opportunity to apply in research and applied disciplines related to physics, biology, chemistry, medicine, material research, bio-, and nano-technologies or pharmacy.

The Master’s Degree in Quantum Science and Engineering is designed to train experts in quantum sciences and technologies. Its goal is to provide the skills and tools required in quantum physics, advanced mathematics, precision electronics, and quantum information in order to tackle theoretical, experimental, computational, and technological challenges in the rapid development field of quantum technologies

Advanced topics in many-body physics: the quantum ideal gas, classical and quantum transport phenomena, and phase transitions in interacting systems. Physics of Earth’s atmosphere, our space environment, the Sun, and space plasma. The course provides students with a physical understanding of interactions in the Sun-Earth system.

The Master's Degree in Physics is especially aimed at Graduates in Physics and Graduates of the double Degree in Physics and Mathematics. It is also aimed at graduates from other related areas, such as Mathematics, Chemistry, Engineering or Biotechnology. This master degree is oriented towards research and a potential doctorate. It is structured in three specialties that are among some of the most active branches in present day Physics, taught by experienced professors and researchers from the research groups that investigate on the following topics: Physics of the Atmosphere and Climate, Physics of Materials and Mathematical Physics.
