This training will allow you:\n\nAcquire the skills and abilities needed to form part of a research group or start working at a company dedicated to research in these areas.\nUndertake doctoral studies in the abovementioned fields.\nAcquire the skills and knowledge needed to make presentations and scientific work.\nArgue critically, issue judgements and present new ideas based on the analysis of information from these scientific areas.\n\n\nStudents will have to choose between two specialties, Astrophysics and Space Sciences or Particle Physics and Gravitation. However, they will have the possibility to make a master’s degree of a more interdisciplinary nature choosing elective subjects from the other specialty, or even subjects related to other master’s degrees.\n\nThe training offer includes not only theoretical but also practical aspects, in particular of instrumentation, observation and computation.\n\n \n \n\n \n\nTeaching blocks\n\n \n\n1. Master’s thesis topics\n* Any subject which bears some relationship with the two specialities of the master:\n\nAstrophysics and Space Sciences. \nParticle Physics and Gravitation.\n \n\n \n\nTeaching methods and general organization\n\n \n\nDevelop a research project, write a report (thesis) on it and defend it orally in front of a panel of experts.\n\n \n\n \n\nOfficial assessment of learning outcomes\n\n \n\nThere are two evaluation calls per academic year, one between the end of January and the beginning of February, corresponding to the 1st semester, and one between the end of June and the beginning of July, corresponding to the 2nd semester. Each student will have two opportunities to pass the assessment. Students who waive the winter call are entitled to defend their master’s thesis during the spring call, while those waiving the spring call can defend their master’s thesis in September. \n\nThe master’s degree is completed after writing a report and carrying out a 20-minute public presentation in front of an evaluation committee. \n\nEach thesis is evaluated by both the Tutor, who rates the research capacity of the student, and an evaluation committee, consisting of a President and a Secretary, responsible for appraising the written and oral work. \n\nThe evaluation of the oral dissertation is based upon:\n\na) The clarity of the public exposition of the work;\n\nb) the ability to answer questions by the committee; and\n\nc) the scientific quality of the written version of the work.\n\nThe oral presentation may be given in English, Catalan or Spanish. The use of English will have a positive impact on the evaluation.\n\n \n\n \n\nExamination-based assessment\n\nSame as in the official assessment.\n\nMore information at: http://grad.ub.edu/grad3/plae/AccesInformePDInfes?curs=2023&assig=568424&ens=M0D0B&recurs=pladocent&n2=1&idioma=ENG" . .

"The master's degree Astrophysics, Particle Physics and Cosmology of the University of Barcelona is intended for holders of bachelor's degrees and equivalent undergraduate degrees (particularly in physics), engineers and technical engineers who wish to pursue a specialization in one of the following branches of knowledge: astrophysics and space sciences; atomic, nuclear and particle physics; or gravitation and cosmology. The duration and specific content will depend on each applicant's previous studies.\nThe master's degree seeks to provide students with the training needed to conduct research in one of the fields listed above or in a related field, thanks to the interdisciplinary subjects also included in the program.\n\nThe course focuses on preparing students to begin a doctoral thesis upon completion of their degree, enabling them to pursue an academic career. However, it also provides highly valuable training for a career in the public or private sector, opening up a wide range of employment options.\n\nObjectives\nThe objectives of the master's degree are to provide students with advanced academic training in the fields of astrophysics, space sciences, atomic, nuclear and particle physics, gravitation and cosmology. More specifically, the objectives are:\n\n\n\nto study the content of a carefully selected set of subjects;\n\nto acquire the work methodology needed for conducting research and completing a doctoral thesis in the above fields through the completion of one or more research projects during the program;\n\nto acquire the skills needed to give scientific presentations;\n\nto acquire the competences, skills and abilities required to join a research group and complete doctoral studies or eventually join companies that pursue developments related to research in the mentioned fields.\n\nCompetences\nThe generic competences obtained by students will be instrumental (such as the capacity for analysis and synthesis, a working knowledge of English, knowledge of software tools and decision-making skills), interpersonal (such as critical reasoning, teamwork and creativity), and systemic (such as the capacity for independent learning and the capacity to adapt to new situations).\n\nThe specific competences obtained by students will be the capacity to understand a physical system in terms of the relevant scales of energy, the capacity to identify observable magnitudes and the capacity to test predictions from theoretical models with experimental and observational data.\n\nAnother potential specific competence is the capacity to develop and apply new technologies."@en . . .
