The program
Physics Graduate students from Universidade Federal de Itajubá have the opportunity to carry out cutting edge research at the Physics and Chemistry Institute, as well as at the Astrophysics National Laboratory, on the following areas:
- Astrophysics
- Mathematical Physics
- Field Theory, Gravitation and Cosmology.
Their research is complemented by formal courses, seminars and teaching opportunities.
The Physics graduate course at UNIFEI has two main purposes: developing of a wide and solid basis in fundamental physics and astrophysics and, by writing a dissertation, improving their research abilities into more specialized areas. The skills acquired through full time Physics graduate work – quantitative reasoning, advanced computing methods, among others – are also applicable to many other fields, academic or not.
