Application and Scientific Background Required for Acceptance

APPLICATION: FREE APPLICATIONS.
The CCS (Consiglio del Corso di Studi, i.e. the body of the teachers) will evaluate the degrees and also the scientific background of each applicant, to make sure that it matches the level of the  course.  If  assessment  is positive, the applicants can register.

TEACHING  AND ATTENDANCE: “IN PRESENZA”

The “Corso di laurea” teaching is based on standard lectures to the student audience. Students are required to attend laboratory courses: a maximum absence to 1/3 of  lectures/activities is tolerated.

SCHOOL LENGTH: TWO YEARS

DEGREE  FOR REGISTRATION: A sufficient requirement for acceptance is possession of Italian Laurea or three-year Diploma Universitario in Physics,  as well as any other degree obtained abroad, which is evaluated to be equivalent by this University CCS.

DEADLINES FOR APPLICATION AND FOR REGISTRATION:

• Application must be submitted no later than SEPTEMBER 30th, 2011. The document list requested is indicated in: http://www.unife.it/studenti/immatricolazioni-e-iscrizioni/pre-iscrizioni-a-un-corso-di-laurea-magistrale
  

• Registration deadline is MARCH 31st, 2012. The document list requested is indicated in: http://www.unife.it/studenti/immatricolazioni-e-iscrizioni/immatricolazione-a-corsi-di-laurea-magistrale-non-a-ciclo-unico

SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND REQUIRED FOR ACCEPTANCE:
Scientific background assumed in the course includes:

• Good practical knowledge of Calculus, Geometry and Algebra.
• Basic notions of Chemistry.
• Good understanding of basical Classical Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism and Optics.
• Familiarity of experimentation and its techniques; basic electronics.

• Knowledge of the main theories in Classical and Modern Physics, Special Relativity, Quantum Mechanics and relative mathematical methods, and elements of Statistical Mechanics.
• Sufficient mastership of the English language to understand Physics textbooks in English and lectures in English.
• Computing skills : ability to use existing scientific programs.
• Ability to understand and solve (or at least know how can be solved) Physics problems.

THE ASSESSMENT OF THE PHYSICS  BACKGROUND:
The evaluation of the applicant’s qualifications and Physics background will be done  by an Evaluation Committee appointed by the CCS, via an Admission interview on the
basic knowledge requested and the applicant’s own motivation and interests, in order  to determine:
1.    Acceptance of the applicants for registration .
2.    Structure of courses avoiding repetition of already  known subjects and considering the applicant’s own interests.

First evaluation: 12th October 2011 hour 3PM at Physics Department Building C - Scientific-Technological Campus, via Saragat, 1, 44122 – Ferrara.
