From option group A one elective of 5 ECTS has to be chosen.

Depending on the chosen track, the courses in period Ib and IIB differ.

Compulsory courses for each track are indicated by the following abbreviations:
- BMP: Biophysics & Medical Physics;
- EEP: Energy & Environmental Physics;
- NP: Nanophysics;
- PP: Particle Physics.

Important information

• for students following the Energy & Environmental Physics track: the course Geo-Energy (WBPH018-05) was not given in the Academic Year 2020/2012. Students who were in their second year in 2020/2021 therefore had the option to already follow one of the third year courses, by choosing one of the courses in 'option group C' (see below). For these students the course Geo-Energy (WBPH018-05) is available in their third year during the academic year 2021-2022.

• for students following the Biophysics & Medical Physics track: the course Biomaterials 1 (WBBE007-05) is a new course in our curriculum and replaces the course Chemical Biology (WBCH036-05)

In period Ia students can either choose a free minor (University Minor, or Faculty Minor) or the Minor Physics "Quantum Materials & Radiation", as listed below.
Students who prefer to follow a different program during their minor space must ask for approval by the Board of Examiners.

It is also possible for Physics students to follow the Education Minor (30 ECTS). Students following this Minor are exempted for the courses of period 1B.
