Which of the four specialisations suits you best?

Before the start of your Master’s in Applied Physics, you will choose a specialisation. This way, by personalising your programme, you get to develop your own expertise. We offer you different specialisations. Your choice determines which courses you will take and the type of research you will be involved in during your master’s thesis.

Find your perfect chip tech programme

Take the study-fit test

In this specialisation, you study the fundamental principles of physics underlying the properties, structure and behaviour of new and cutting-edge materials.

2 yearsFull-time](https://www.utwente.nl/en/education/master/programmes/applied-physics/specialisations/materials-science/) - [Photonics

Immerse yourself in the field of optics and join leading research on photonic devices like microchips, sensors, and more in this specialisation.

2 yearsFull-time](https://www.utwente.nl/en/education/master/programmes/applied-physics/specialisations/photonics/) - [Physics of Fluids

Fluid dynamics is all around us. In this specialisation, you will deepen your understanding of the behaviour of fluids (moving liquids, gases, particles) and how you can control them.
