Nowadays, in order to make innovations in an advanced scientific and
technological context (like e.g. system biology, neuroscience, computation, network
engineering, web economy, financial markets modeling, novel materials), it is mandatory
to master the most advanced concepts and methodologies for complex
systems. This is why we have set up a Master of Science program, with
two parallel educational tracks, which aims to offer the best techniques
needed to attack interdisciplinary problems.
Graduates from this master program will be experts in modeling and
simulation of complex systems. They can look forward to careers as
researchers in development labs or computing centers, senior software
engineers, biological physicists, financial analysts and more. Thanks to
their strong methodological skills, they will also profit of new career
opportunities offered by the most advanced companies and research
institutes operating in multidisciplinary contexts.
​Graduates can access PhD programs in physics and related subjects, in
particular those encountered during the master program (for instance
information engineering, or biology at the cellular and molecular level,
especially computational biology and bioinformatics). Eventually, they
can get a master degree in Nanotechnologies for ICTs at Politecnico di
Torino through
a small amount of exams [confirmed for the International Track, to be confirmed for the national Track]
The Master of Science programme in Physics of complex Systems is
organized in two parallel educational tracks, sharing the same
motivations, goals and structure, but with different features:
-
International track
- based at prestigious sites in Italy (including Politecnico di Torino) and in France
- only a limited number of students admitted
- students obtain a double Master of Science degree (Italian Laurea Magistrale & French M2)
- all courses given in English
-
National track
- entirely based at Politecnico di Torino
- no limitation on the number of admitted students
- students obtain a Master of Science degree (Laurea Magistrale)
- most courses given in English, some courses in Italian (one semester in common with the International track)
