Program Structure and Curriculum
The Interuniversity Master’s Degree in Nuclear Physics consists of 60 ECTS credits, combining taught courses with an original research project:

  • Coursework (36 ECTS): 6 courses of 6 ECTS credits each.
  • Master's Thesis (24 ECTS): Supervised research project.

Course Offerings

The program offers 12 courses (6 ECTS each). Students must complete 3 compulsory courses and select 3 elective courses from the 9 available options.

📌 Compulsory Courses (18 ECTS)

  • Nuclear Structure: Properties and Models
  • Introduction to Nuclear Reactions
  • Experimental Nuclear Physics

⚙️ Elective Courses (18 ECTS to select)

(Elective course availability may vary depending on academic year planning)

  • Applied Nuclear Physics I (Environment and Materials)
  • Applied Nuclear Physics II (Energy and Bio-medical Applications)
  • Nuclear Astrophysics
  • Hadronic Physics
  • Relativistic Quantum Theory: Nuclear Processes
  • Advanced Experimental Techniques in Nuclear Physics
  • Many-Body Theories in Nuclear Physics
  • Weak Interactions
  • Radiation Protection

Teaching Methodology and Mobility

  • Intensive Format: Each course is taught intensively over one week at the host institution designated for that academic year.
  • Hybrid Delivery: Courses may also be structured across two intensive weeks: one on-campus week and one synchronous online week (real-time virtual classes).
  • Mobility Grants: Students enrolled through the University of Seville can apply for mobility grants to help cover travel and accommodation costs across host campuses.

Master's Thesis (TFM)

To enter the field of scientific research, every student completes a 24 ECTS research project aligned with one of the program’s active research lines:

  • Supervision: Guided by a Master's faculty member or researcher.
  • Assessment: Written report submission and public defense before an academic committee in accordance with host university regulations.

Graduation & Degree

Upon completing all 60 ECTS credits, students are awarded the official Master's Degree in Nuclear Physics by their home university.
