The scientists of the Casimir research school are involved as lecturers in the MSc programs offered at the University of Leiden and/or Delft University of Technology. Each one of those programs prepares for a final degree of Master of Science.
As a research school we take responsibility to guide MSc students interested in a research-career, as well as those who consider the MSc as the final degree.
Taking into account the research themes within Casimir and its focus on interdisciplinary physics we distinguish two main routes for MSc students.
Students interested in a MSc as a final degree should look at the regular MSc programs offered by Leiden or Delft (Programs 1 and 2).
Students interested in a MSc preparing for a possible PhD research-position at Delft or Leiden should look at Program 3, which is offered as a Special Track of the Programs 1 and 2.
- MSc in Physics - a program offered by Leiden preparing for a general advanced physics level.[1] Contact: aarts-at-physics.leidenuniv.nl
- MSc in Applied Physics (engineering physics) - a program offered by Delft aimed at an advanced engineering physics level[2]. Contact: j.m.thijssen-at-tudelft.nl
- Casimir PrePhD track for master students Applied Physics (Delft) and Physics (Leiden). This track focuses on educating students especially for a PhD position at the two institutions or elsewhere and is designed to respond to the increased mobility of students after their BSc. It leads to a particular set of courses and research experience in more than one department. Contact: aarts-at-physics.leidenuniv.nl (Leiden) and j.m.thijssen-at-tudelft.nl (Delft).
[2] With options to specialize in (i) Nanoscience (ii) Imaging Science and Technology (iii) Radiation, Radionuclides & reactors (iv) Multiscale physics, with an additional possibility for specialization in Astronomy and Instrumentation (in collaboration with Leiden).
