Theoretical Physics and Complex Systems
This curriculum provides students with the capacity to investigate broad-spectrum physical phenomena, understanding the challenges of growing complexity and interconnection between very different cultural and scientific fields, through various techniques from theoretical physics, to quantum physics and statistical physics. Students will develop an eclectic approach and adaptability to the work environment due to the solid cultural, physical-mathematical and modeling background.
Graduates in Theoretical Physics and Complex Systems will be able to find career opportunities in a wide variety of fields, ranging from research to the health sector, from the financial industry to private companies and management level positions in public administration.
Specific courses operate in the most diverse fields of research, both in the fundamental and applied physics, with activities that are often of technological interest:
