Masters in the area of ​​Applied and Interdisciplinary Physics concentration

Attention: Candidates for PhD and Masters candidates in the areas of Physics and Astrophysics concentration use the Unified Physics Exam (EUF) score in one of their last 5 editions in the selection process. We have the information that the EUF 1/2020 will be held on the internet on 06/01 with results being released on 06/04, which allows its use in our selection process. If the EUF 1/2020 date is postponed, we will modify the registration
period to allow the use of your note. EUF website.

The selection process for the Masters course in the area of Applied and
Interdisciplinary Physics concentration uses the grade of the Exam in Applied
and Interdisciplinary Physics (EFAI). Enrollment for EFAI is made independently of our selection process: EFAI

DOCTORATE DEGREE

As described in the Regular Notice 2020/2 in item 2.3: “If the vacancies for the Doctorate are not filled in the selection dealt with in this Notice, in the judgment of the Program Collegiate, there may be selection in a continuous flow regime, for admission during the academic year 2020”.
