Specific competences.
- Having done a study of important subfields of physics at an intermediate level (some of these should have been treated in the bachelor programme). Having gone deeper into this study in at least one major subfield of physics.
- Being able to set up new experiments or to contribute to experiments executed in large international collaboration agreements as an experimental physicist
- Do physics in a specific subfield through advanced training and contact with the current state of affairs in the research.
- Being able to independently appropriate new physical insights, results and methods and develop these.
- Being able to solve current concrete physical problems by selecting the appropriate experimental and/or theoretical method and to correctly report on it.
- To acquire attitudes to work in a team in scientific research through collaboration with fellow students and researchers and to learn to communicate about the research in a scientifically correct language.
- Being able to use computer techniques to solve physical problems and in other applications.
- Being able to use the acquired insights in physics, the ability to analyse and the general methodology of sciences in a broad spectrum of professions.
- Having prepared him/herself to function as a physicist, or a more general basic scientist, in a professional direction of his/her choice, in particular as teacher or as researcher.
General competences
- Being able to read and understand specialist literature and to follow the recent developments in his/her own subdiscipline.
- Having the skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) to communicate effectively in the mother tongue and in one or more languages including English.

A student’s final result is a weighted average of the exam results the student has obtained for all the programme components of his/her training programme. In calculating the final result, the credits corresponding to the various programme components are used for weighting the results obtained for those components.
The final result is expressed as an integer out of 100.
A student whose final result is less than 50 out of 100 can never be declared successful.
A student is successful for the training programme if he/she has obtained credits for all the programme components in his/her training programme.
For more information see the Education and Examination regulation.
