Introduction
This master's degree, essentially a researcher, provides current cutting-edge training in Physics, which also allows graduates to enter jobs in different productive sectors such as academics, industry, technology or research.
The Master in Physics is essentially a researcher, although, at the same time, it provides cutting-edge current training that allows graduates to find jobs in different productive sectors that range from the academic to the industrial sector, including jobs with a technological and investigator. There are three doctorates with a strong anchorage in this master's degree, such as Nuclear and Particle Physics and Materials Science and Technology (both with mention of excellence) and Laser, Photonics and Vision, articulated around the teachers involved. in this master
From a structural point of view, it should be noted that this master's degree, unique in the State, implies the continuation of studies of the Degree in Physics, unique in the Galician University System.
Curriculum
To obtain the title of Master's Degree in Physics, of the total proposed credits, students must take the 6 credits of the mandatory subject, 12 credits of the Master's Final Project, 24 corresponding to subjects from the elective modules linked to any of the four specialties of the master's degree and, the other 18 remaining, you can choose from those contained in the catalog of free or linked electives.
The title includes the following specialties:
- Nuclear and Particle Physics
- Physics of Matter
- Physics of Light and Radiation
- Fundamental physics
To obtain any of the specialties, the student must meet the following conditions:
- Take at least 12 credits of subjects related to the chosen specialty.
- Carry out the TFM linked to said specialty.
The system is based on classroom attendance and classes are held regularly from Monday to Friday.
Program Outcome
The training objective of this master's degree is to cover the academic needs in the physical science and technology sector, which society demands both in its business aspect and in the R&D&i activity itself.

Career Opportunities
The orientation of this degree is essentially research, although, at the same time, it provides current cutting-edge training that allows the professional insertion of graduates in jobs in different productive sectors that range from the academic sector to the industrial sector, including profile jobs. technological and researcher.
As far as students are concerned, an added value of the master's degree is the training it provides in order to successfully participate in official calls for radiophysicists (RFIR), supervisor of radioactive facilities, technicians and staff in institutes and research centers. Although it is not a professional degree, these studies have traditionally given access to university and non-university research and teaching. In addition, a graduate in physics has been able to access professional sectors in the world of industry and services (Scientific-Technical Instrumentation, Metrology and Calibration, Energy Production, Space and Aeronautical Technology, Atmospheric Sciences, Geodesy and Prospecting, Acoustics, Economics and Finance, etc.) and also in the field of Health Sciences (Radiophysical Protection, Instrumentation, Radiology, Magnetic Resonance and Tomography, Ionizing Radiations, Microwaves and Lasers, etc.).
