Applied Physics Curricula for hbo influx

The curriculum for students with a Bachelor of Applied Sciences (hbo) Applied Physics or Electrical Engineering is slightly different. (Depending on whether or not the transferminor AP is part of the Bachelor hbo degree the student has to do a premaster programme.)

Study programme Applied Physics

The study programme shows for each academic year in which quartile the courses are taught. The changes in the AP programme and courses compared to the previous academic year can be found in the transitional regulations.
The specialization courses and the elective courses are used to personalize the Applied Physics programme. A student can choose to have a more general Applied Physics programme, or can choose to specialize in one of our disciplinary or interdisciplinary specialization programmes.
The specialization programs of UT research groups affiliated with Applied Physics can be found in the study program and curriculum under the section Chair courses Applied Physics.

Double programmes

A double master's programme is possible, among other things, with the UT masters Applied Mathematics (AM), BioMedical Engineering (BME), Chemical Science & Engineering (CSE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), Nanotechnology (NT), Sustainable Energy Technology (SET). if admissible for both programmes.
For the design of a double master's programme, the AP programme uses the following guidelines;

General set up for double master programme (180 EC)

30-45 EC Compulsory courses Master 11
30-45 EC Compulsory courses Master 21
30 EC Combined Internship
60 EC Combined Master Assignment
0-30 EC Elective courses2,3

1 Courses part of both compulsory master programmes are placed in the most appropriate programme.
2 The study programme may contain a maximum of 15 ECs of homologation courses at bachelor level.
3 The free electives can be used to do separate internships

These double programmes are drawn up individually and in consultation with both the education programmes. For more information, contact the study advisor.

master science education  (only in DUTCH)

It is possible to combine the MSc Applied Physics with the MSc Science Education Physics (Lerarenopleiding Natuurkunde).
