The iCFP program consists of four sub-programs: Soft Matter and Biophysics, Theoretical Physics, Quantum Physics, and Condensed Matter. The year is divided into two semesters. The second part of the second semester is devoted to an internship.
Information
Objectives
The second year of the Master is organized around four different programs : Condensed Matter Physics, Soft Matter and biological physics, Quantum Physics and Theoretical Physics.The first semester is dedicated to courses (30 ECTS). Each student enrolls in a program in wich he/she follows compulsory and optional courses. In exceptional cases, the student can include in his/her program one optional course from another area of study, in agreement with his/her head of studies.In second semester, four optional courses will be chosen from any program (4x3 ECTS). These optional courses must be approved by the head of the studies.Students are expected to complete an internship relevant to their course of study (18 ECTS) April to june, in France or abroad.
