"The course will start by quickly translating the programming knowledge students have from other programming languages into C++.\r\n\r\nWe will then move to more specific C++ features like pointers. The object oriented part will introduce classes and its properties and uses, encapsulations, inheritance and polymorphism. We will also look at examples of how to use these tools in different scientific applications.\r\n\r\nSpecial emphasis will also be placed on Object Oriented Analysis and Design.\r\n\r\nThe last part will focus on the STL (standard template library), Graphical User Interface development and network communication.\nGENERAL COMPETENCIES\r\nThe goal of the course is to learn basic object oriented (OO) programming techniques as implemented in C++. Several objectives need to be met\r\n\r\n- The students must be able to use pointers in C++\r\n\r\n- The students must be able to define classes, make objects with these and to use them properly.\r\n\r\n- Students must be able to craft their classes in such a way that it respects the basic OO principles\r\n\r\n- Students must be able to make algorithms using functional and object oriented programming in C++\r\n\r\n- Using these basic skills, students must be able to construct a larger project\r\n\r\n- Students need to be able to apply the basic principles of Object Oriented Analysis and Design in their chosen project." . .

"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" .
