Two days dedicated to university orientation, designed to offer a closer look at the Department’s academic programs and research activities.
The Open Days program for the Master’s Degree in Physics
During the Open Days, students will have the opportunity to experience the Department firsthand:
Morning: guided tours of the research laboratories, to discover ongoing scientific activities (registration form for the laboratory visit)
Afternoon: meetings with Master’s Degree faculty members, who will present courses, study paths, and academic opportunities
The initiative represents a key moment for students to orient themselves in choosing a Master’s Degree in Physics, offering direct contact with professors, researchers, and study environments.
