The agreement foresees the participation in a shared Master in "Physics and Applications of Quantum Technologies", to be attended by students of either the Université Paris Cité (France) or the University of Pavia (Italy). The first year of the Master program will be spent at the Department of Physics of the University of Pavia as part of the Master in Physical Sciences, while the second year will be spent in Paris as part of the Master program in Quantum Devices (QD) of the University Paris-Cité. More information on the latter can can be found at the following link:
In each academic year, up to 5 students per partner institution will be able to enroll to the first year of the Master program, attending the courses at the Physics Department of the University of Pavia to acquire their first 60 CFU (ECTS), in the form of specialized courses and thesis activities. Further 60 CFU (ECTS) will be acquired after attending the second year of the QD Master program at the Université Paris Cité, in the form of specialist courses and final thesis activities. All the classes will be delivered in English, both in the first (in Pavia) and second year (in Paris). At the end of the second year spent at Paris Cité, having obtained a total of 120 CFU (ECTS), the successful students will be awarded the “Diplome de Physique Fondamentale et Applications, parcours Dispositifs Quantiques". The recognition of the title of “Dottore in Scienze Fisiche” in Italy will take place following a discussion of the corresponding Master degree thesis at the University of Pavia.
The lectures of the first year spent in Pavia already exist within the Curriculum "Fisica delle Tecnologie Quantistiche" of the Master Degree in Physical Sciences. The lectures of the second year already exist within the corresponding QD Master program of Paris Cité.
The full details of the courses proposed in the two year Master are available at the following link:
Support for Italian students spending the second year in Paris is foreseen within the ERASMUS Studio program. More information can be found at the ERASMUS page of Pavia Physics Department.
Moreover, a dedicated office of the University of Pavia (Centro Assistenza Studenti) is providing assistance to find a housing abroad.
