"Following a global discussion of the typical aspects of simulations at the quantum scale vs.\r\nsimulations at the microscale, you will be introduced to the workhorse method for quantum\r\nsimulations: density functional theory (DFT). This includes right from the start hands-on work\r\nwith a DFT code. The code is free and open source, which guarantees that you can keep using\r\nit later in your education, research or job. We’ll focus first on predicting structural properties of\r\ncrystalline materials. At this point the course bifurcates and you can choose one of these two\r\ntracks: continuing with simulations at the quantum scale for electronic, magnetic and other\r\nproperties of crystals, or stepping up to the microscale for simulations of a different kind about\r\nstructural dependent properties or microstructural evolutions.\nFinal competences:\n1 Being able to explain the concepts behind density-functional theory and the major simulation strategies at the micro scale.\r\n2 Using a general-purpose density-functional theory code to calculate basic properties of a given solid.\r\n3 Being able to understand and to critically evaluate research literature in which the simulation methods used in this course are applied.\r\n4 Evaluating the precision and accuracy of different simulation methods for a given solid and given property.\r\n5 Formulating a sound simulation strategy to address a materials problem." . .

"The Master of Science in Physics and Astronomy: Minor Research is composed of 30 ECTS compulsory courses, 30 ECTS master thesis, 10-12 ECTS external mobility courses and 48-50 ECTS minor Research Electives. Our Master is jointly organized with UGent.\n\nPhysics aims at understanding the world around us by observing it from the smallest scales to the scale of the universe itself. From those observations, models are built to allow us to understand, explain and eventually predict the behavior of nature. The Master in Physics and Astronomy provides a comprehensive education in physics covering the particle physics, general relativity, astrophysics and the study of complex systems.\n\nThis master will give you quantitative and analytic skills that are useful to solve many problems arising in many areas beyond physics."@en . . .

With a master in Physics and Astronomy from VUB, you will have the knowledge and skills to land a job in one of many diverse sectors.\n\nThere is plenty of work in scientific research at universities and research institutes. In industry, in modelling, statistics and informatics. Alternatively, work on risk analysis and modelling in the banking, finance or pharmaceuticals sectors. You will also be valuable in the field of education. Infinite opportunities, in fact!"@en . "2"^^ . "TRUE" .
