Master Physique

Présentation

English presentation:

Recent advances in physics (high energy physics, quantum physics, condensed matter…) and related disciplines (astrophysics, life sciences, medical treatment and medical imaging...) are based on gathering, in laboratories or within national and international collaborations, a great diversity of skills and knowledge such as: 

• Knowledge about fundamental theoretical and experimental physics;
• A broad view of the discipline: currently accepted theories, major open questions and plans to address them...
• Excellent knowledge of practical tools for modeling and analysis (mathematics, statistics, signal processing, database management, numerical simulations, instrumental developments);
• Ease with high-level experimental techniques;
• Teamwork and communication skills (project management, English, report writing, oral presentations).

The main objective of the Master of Physics is to train candidates to fit effectively into this framework, providing them with sound theoretical and practical bases, and giving them the opportunity to start specializing gradually through courses, personal projects and internships. The training aims to provide students with the necessary skills to carry out research and / or development work by focusing on:

• Autonomy in the analysis of a complex problem and the proposal of approaches (theoretical, numerical and / or experimental);
• Solid skills in computing (especially for the analysis of large datasets);
• Collaborative work;
• Ability to communicate scientific results.

The Master of Physics is a research-driven training, leading to fundamental or applied research, work in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics -STEM- industry (especially high-tech) and trades of education or dissemination of science. From a professional point of view, the training prepares either for a career as a researcher or a research engineer in the disciplinary fields concerned, or for a career in a sector where the knowledge and / or skills acquired as physicists prove to be useful. Thanks to a long-standing partnership with Télécom Physique Strasbourg, the Master's degree also assumes the role of contributing to the formation of young engineers. In parallel with research-focused objectives, the Master of Physics also prepares students to pass the French recruitment competition for teachers Agrégation de Physique-Chimie, Option Physique through a specific track PA (Preparation à l’Agrégation). The mastery of the disciplinary foundations of Physics and Chemistry give rise to a solid theoretical and practical professional training in the trades of the education.

The Master of Physics consists of 7 tracks with of a common first M1 year followed by a specialization at the M2 level. The content of each course is described in the specific pages. The courses are taught in English during the two years. For the main lectures, tutorial classes are duplicated with French and English teaching languages. M1 training consists of a common core of general physics taught through courses and tutorials in the first and second semester. Experimental training is an important part of the curriculum,  with projects hosted by local laboratories. During these two semesters, optional courses allow students to discover the different possible tracks and specializations. The ties with ongoing academic research are ensured by weekly seminars given by researchers from Strasbourg laboratories during the first semester. In addition, students will train to actual research work via supervised projects and research internships in physics laboratories through (both in M1 and M2).

Résumé français:
Le master Physique de l'Université de Strasbourg est porté par la Faculté de Physique et Ingénierie, en partenariat avec l’Observatoire d’Astrophysique de Strasbourg (ObAS), Télécom Physique Strasbourg (TPS) et l’École supérieure de biotechnologie de Strasbourg (ESBS) et avec les Instituts Thématiques Interdisciplinaires ITI/EUR HiFunMat, IRMIA++ et QMat. Après une première année de formation généraliste fortement mutualisée, il propose 6 parcours orientés vers la recherche -Astrophysics and data science (Astro); Physics of Quantum and Soft Condensed Matter (PhyQS); Cell physics; Radiation physics, detector, instrumentation and imaging (PRIDI); Subatomic and astroparticle physics (SAP) and Quantum Technologies-European Program -s’appuyant sur les laboratoires Strasbourgeois et un parcours permettant de préparer le concours de recrutement de l’Agrégation de Physique-Chimie-Option Physique.

Adossement à la recherche

The Master of Physics at the University of Strasbourg is supported by the Faculty of Physics and Engineering, in partnership with the Observatoire d'astrophysique de Strasbourg (ObAS), Télécom Physique Strasbourg (TPS) and the École Supérieure de Biotechnologie de Strasbourg (ESBS), as well as with the ITI/EUR HiFunMat, IRMIA++ and QMat.

The 6 research courses in the master's programme are closely linked to the physics laboratories in Strasbourg:

• Cell Physics: IGBMC (UMR 7104), ESBS, LBP (UMR 7021), IPCMS (UMR 7504), ICS (UPR 22) and ISIS (UMR 7006);
• PhySQ: IPCMS (UMR 7504), ICS (UPR 22), ISIS (UMR 7006) and CESQ-ISIS (UMR 7006);
• PRIDI: IPHC (UMR7178) and ICube (UMR7357);
• SPA: IPHC (UMR UMR7178) and ICube (UMR7357);
• QTEP: IPCMS (UMR 7504), ISIS (UMR 7006), CESQ-ISIS (UMR 7006) and IPHC (UMR UMR7178);
• Astrophysics and Data Science : ObAS (UMR 7550).

The Master's teachers are all active researchers in these laboratories. They also enable internships opportunities outside Strasbourg for the Master students thanks to their networks of collaborations.
