Master's in Nuclear Physics

University of Barcelona: The University of Barcelona is a public research university located in Barcelona, Spain. It was founded in 1450 and is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Europe. The university offers undergraduate and graduate programs in fields such as humanities, social sciences, health sciences, natural sciences, and engineering. It is known for its high-quality research and academic programs, as well as its commitment to social responsibility and community engagement.

The key objectives are: 1. Providing an advanced training of both specialized and multidisciplinary in nuclear physics, aimed at research and academic specialization. The training includes theoretical, experimental and applied nuclear physics. The proper training can be defined as one that allows students to answer five questions: A How are the atomic nuclei? B How atomic nuclei interact? C For what are the atomic nuclei? D How to measure the properties of atomic nuclei? E. What lies beyond the atomic nucleus? 2. Promoting knowledge and scientific exchange between PhD students in nuclear physics from around the country. 3. Providing access to the investigative stage of doctoral programs in nuclear physics. 4. Promote collaboration between research groups from Spanish Nuclear Physics, both in the educational aspects related to the Master as in other facets teaching, academic or research purposes. 5. Optimize human and material resources throughout Spain for a Master's in nuclear physics with the highest level. 6. Facilitating entry to highly skilled jobs in academic and external to it, in government or in companies where information technology and communication, finance and radiomedicina. Competences Ability to study and research in topics started on the frontier of knowledge in the fields of physics Nuclear theoretical and experimental, and technological and medical applications. Possessing an overview of current knowledge of the processes of generation of matter and energy in the universe, exploring the universe using particles and high energy radiation, the description of the structure of atomic nuclei and their interactions and of their connection with more fundamental structures. Ability to use the major tools and methods of computation andprogramming currently used in nuclear physics experiments, and for managing the experimental techniques that are widely used in both environmental and medical physics in the field diagnostic and therapeutic ionizing radiation. Ability to develop scientific research work in the frame or forming part of large international collaborations which combine both theoretical and experimental work and technology.
