The master's degree in Engineering Physics is oriented towards frontier engineering based on advanced education in physics. Specialist engineering fields such as nanotechnology, nanoelectronics and biomedical engineering require an ever-growing number of professionals who have extensive training in advanced physics and sound knowledge of quantum physics, complex system physics and device physics, which can be applied both at the nanoscopic scale and in large-scale facilities.
The master's degree in Physical Engineering is associated to content with a high labor demand.
From senior researcher or technical staff, to management and management positions, going through a project, area or department, with the possibility of becoming an entrepreneur entrepreneur
The master program comprises 23 ECTS of common subjects, 20 ECTS of elective subjects and a master thesis of 17 ECTS. Elective subjects can be chosen among different Physics and Engineering courses. To find detailed course guides, see link to: curriculum in the web of the MEP at the Telecommunications School.
The Department of Physics will offer 3 grants of 1000€ for students who complete the Master's Thesis in research groups of the Department, therefore, the resolution will be passed after enrollment.
The Academic Committee of the Master will award scholarships according to the academic quality parameters of the candidates.
The master in Engineering Physics, due to its standing has various agreements with many companies and research centers. Below you will find a non-exhaustive list of companies related to the master
ALBA is a 3rd generation Synchrotron Light facility located in Cerdanyola del Vallès, (Barcelona), being the newest source in the Mediterranean area.
It is a complex of electron accelerators to produce synchrotron light, which allows the visualization of the atomic structure of matter as well as the study of its properties.
Dexeus University Hospital is one of the most technologically advanced centers in Spain in diagnostic facilities.
The Image Diagnostic Service of the Dexeus University Hospital offers patients all sorts of diagnostic explorations. In addition to the conventional radiological procedures (simple radiology, orthopantomography, specific radiology of trauma, proven tests), it also studies body, neuro and musculoskeletal in CT and magnetic resonance.
Medical Physics is the application of the methods of Physics to Health Sciences, playing an important role in health care, biomedical research and prevention. It could be considered as one of the applications of Physics that has the greatest and most direct impact on people, because it has a direct impact on Health.
The medical activity in Medical Physics, as a professional activity, takes place in Spain through a health specialty called Hospital Radiophysics.

Common subjects will be scheduled in the first semester (autumn) except “Large Facilities” that will be given in second semester (spring).
Below there is the list with all the common subjects students must enroll:
Elective subjects in Physics are broadly grouped in three main areas:
Elective subjects in Engineering up to 12 ECTS can be chosen from the offer of all masters offered by UPC.
The following list is indicative but not exhaustive:
The master thesis can be performed in a research group of UPC, in a research institute or in a company, either in Catalunya or abroad.
To facilitate the development of the master thesis outside UPC some of the elective subjects will be taught in the first semester and other will be taught in the first two months of the second semester.
