Course units and programme of study

The list of courses in the programme of study represents the set of training activities that can be envisaged for each of the years of which the course of study consists and changes according to the year in which the student enrols. Free or restricted-choice subjects are optional learning activities that students may include in their programme of study according to the choice criteria specified on this page; the remaining subjects are compulsory for all students.

The programme of study must be submitted online by the student for each year using the ESSE3 system.

Students wishing to propose an individual programme of study outside the recommended pathways must apply to the Physics Degree Programme Committee by sending their reasoned request by e-mail to the Education manager Dr. Marco Squarcia: marco. squarcia@unipr.it
The proposal, adequately justified, must in any case comply with the general constraints described in detail in the Degree Course Regulation. The Academic office of the Department of Physics is available to clarify any doubts and help with the drafting of the individual programme.
The programme will be evaluated by the Teaching Committee and submitted to the Degree Course Council for approval. If approved, the individual programme of study will be uploaded online by the University Student registry office.

Here you will find an example of filling in the programmes of study for First-cycle degree students; the procedure for the Second-cycle degree is similar.

Three curricula focusing on three areas are proposed:

• Theoretical Physics
• Biophysics and Soft Matter Physics
• Physics of Matter and Functional Materials

For details please refer to the Degree Course Prospectus.
*courses in English
 

For information on the Other Educational Activities see below.

Students may apply to have their dissertation conducted at private companies or contracted facilities.

The students enrolled in the Second-cycle degree in Physics must acquire 3 ECTS credits of "Other Educational Activities". Thay can do this by undertaking dissemination and orientation activities, internships in companies, schools or courses of specialisation, attendance at department seminars, for a minimum amount of 25 hours.

From A.Y. 2022-23 students will be able to choose whether to take, in the Second-cycle degree course, the B2-level English language proficiency examination "English b2 for STEM" of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), or the "Presentation skills" examination (B2-level requested), both 3 ECTS credits.

Reference Professor for the Second-cycle degree in Physics : Prof. Aba Losi
Linguistic Expert Collaborator: Dr. Anila Scott-Monkhouse

The calendar of lessons for the two courses will be found each semester in the Agenda Studenti web portal.
All the information about the "English B2 for STEM" exam can be found at this page and for the "Presentation skills" exam at this page.
