Course description

The curriculum provides solid basic knowledge necessary for the quantitative analysis of natural phenomena. The aim of the course is to lead students in the path towards scientific knowledge of nature, help them to apply the scientific method rigorously: identify the essential aspects of a phenomenon and describe them quantitatively, relate them to each other and finally build a descriptive model of the phenomenon itself. This allows them to frame the phenomenon within the more general laws of nature, to predict new phenomena and to develop technology.

 

Watch the video

Students with a secondary school diploma (4 or 5-year course) and students with any other qualification obtained abroad and recognized as suitable. Ideal candidates are students driven by curiosity to understand natural phenomena and with an interest in discovering the laws that govern them.

 

Training graduates capable of: applying the scientific method to the analysis of phenomena and their modelling; using equipment to measure physical quantities; processing experimental data and designing experiments; applying common mathematical and computer tools; explaining the results of their work, also in English.

 

Students who are not willing to access master’s degrees, can work as technician and technologist in physics laboratories; technician in the service sector (environmental control, radiation protection, meteorology); technologist in industry (optics, mechanics, acoustics, telecommunications); financial analyst for banks, insurance companies, corporations

Residential Center

It complements and completes the services provided by the University of Calabria and has put into shape the idea of a British-American campus-style University. It encompasses 10 districts hosting the university residences, consisting of apartments with double and single rooms, living room, kitchen and toilets. In these districts there are common areas for study and recreational activities and sports, there are TV rooms, game rooms and gyms; launderettes and bike rental services are also available.
