Master's in Physics Engineering

Transforming science into technology.

The Master's Degree program in Physics Engineering offers advanced training for the development and acquisition of technical and scientific knowledge based on Physics, essential for the design and implementation of highly complex technological systems. A distinctive feature of this program is its commitment to transferring cutting-edge products and technologies from the fields of Physics to the productive sector, applying scientific knowledge to practical and advanced solutions.

Porquê este mestrado?

  • The Master's in Physics Engineering is geared towards the development of new technologies that explore areas of Physics not traditionally covered by conventional engineering;
  • The Physics Engineer is a professional who operates in the domains of Physics and Engineering. Their training includes acquiring solid knowledge in basic sciences, particularly in the most recent areas of Physics, giving them the skills to transform science into technology and contribute to technological innovation in the business sector and the design of innovative products with a positive impact on society;
  • The Physics Engineer thus positions themselves as a promoter of the transfer of cutting-edge products and technologies from the fields of Physics to the productive sector, applying scientific knowledge to practical and advanced solutions.

“I chose NOVA FCT because of its high national reputation in engineering education. NOVA FCT is recognized for its academic excellence and ability to provide quality training, which is essential for those, like me, who aim to pursue an international career.

The Master's played a crucial role at the start of my career, as for many engineering jobs, it is a minimum requirement. It is also a competitive advantage, allowing for better salary negotiations, for example.

In my view, the main skills this course teaches are problem-solving, critical thinking, teamwork, adaptability, and time management. I recommend the Master's in Physical Engineering as it offers the best combination of Science and Engineering, opening doors to a wide variety of career opportunities in both fields”.
