The “Research Complements” subject involves specific activities designed to develop research skills. Students acquire specific competencies and techniques related to completing a Master's Thesis with a strong experimental or observational focus, or to undertaking a research stay at a research centre. All Master's students are required to complete 6 ECTS credits in this course.

The Master's Thesis involves students undertaking a project that represents their first experience with research in the field of Physics. This project is developed within one of the research lines offered by the research groups participating in the Master's in Advanced Physics and the Doctoral Program in Physics.
