Degree in Physics
Physics is an experimental science studying the natural world in terms of energy and matter interactions. Practically every technology surrounding us in our everyday lives is governed by the principles of physics (from medical diagnosis techniques to GPS systems or energy production methods). The Degree in Physics aims to provide a solid training based on physical phenomena and the laws and models which explain them, knowing the language of mathematics, the experimental method, sophisticated instrumentation and computational methods. It also introduces into various leading basic and applied research fields. These studies ensure graduates are versatile professionals with the skills needed to resolve multidisciplinary problems in the scientific and technological fields.
-
Degree in PhysicsProfile
Versatility and problem-solving are the main Physics graduates' skills. Another advantage is the high employability for managerial and responsible positions in very broad and advanced sectors: basic and applied research in high-tech industrial sectors and in research centres (photonics, optoelectronics, the environment, alternative energies, fundamental particles and interactions, astrophysics, the aerospace industry, telecommunications, new technologies, virtual reality); health (medical physics); meteorological and geophysical services; scientific and technical consultancy, banking and finance; and science teaching and communication.

Master's Degree in Advanced Physics
This Master's Degree is mainly research-guided providing the needed training to develop work in the field of university or business research, or even official bodies devoted to research. This training is reinforced through the writing of a Master's Degree Thesis which is conducted following some of the lines that offer the research groups that participate in the Master's Degree and which recognition is well-known at a national and international level. Therefore, from a scientific and academic point of view the interest of this Master's Degree is directly related with the ongoing training that provides for the research in the public and private sectors. Additionally, from a professional point of view, the trascendence of the contribution of Physics to the technological development, and therefore to the training of technologists, is crucial in any modern society that may want to base their development in cutting-edge knowledge.In this sense it's worth mentioning that many of the research lines are connected with the economic and social environment of the Valencian Community, setting the basis for initiatives such as the creation of the Val Space Consortium (VSC) that includes the Laboratory of Materials for Space Applications, the active participation in the Science Park of the University of Valencia and the creation of spin-off companies through the institutes of research that participate in the Programme of Doctorate in Physics: the Institute of Corpuscular Physics (IFIC), the Institute for Molecular Imaging Technologies (I3M), the Institute of Material Science of the University of Valencia (ICMUV), the Institute of Research in Medical Physics (IFIMED) and the Technological Institute of Optics, Colour and Imagine (AIDO). -

Master's Degree in Medical Physics
The latter, radiophysicists, or physicians experts in radiations, carry out in hospitals specific healthcare tasks such as the planning of radiotherapy treatments, the control of radiology equipments, and the design and control of the radiological facilities, the control of personnel and the zones exposed to radiations, etc. These tasks are legislated since the programme of access to Hospital Resident Radiophysician Intern was created.
The Royal Decree 220/1997, of 14 February, creates and regulates the obtaining of the official title of Specialist in Hospital Radiophysics, as of postgraduate regulated training, of theoretical-practical nature, being indispensable the developing of practical aspects through a system of residences in hospitals, with a training period of three consecutive years, through which the student obtains the speciality of Hospital Radiophysicist that qualifies for the professional development of the tasks mentioned before. In order to access the different teaching units recognised for the training of Specialists in Hospital Radiophysics it is necessary to pass a test of national character depending on the Ministry of Health and Consumer Affairs which selects candidates (holders of degrees in Physics or any other advanced degree in scientific and technological disciplines).
Although this Master's Degree does not provide with a training of Specialist in Radiophysics, training can only be accessed through the sistem of hospital residence, it does expects to train its students in the physical and technological aspects that are needed as a basis to go in depth in the field of Medical Physics, both in the aspects related with radiotherapy and nuclear medicine as in other aspects of application of Physics to Medicine; both in its practical application as in associated research to this field of knowledge.

Master's Degree in Advanced Optometry and Vision Sciences
The professional working area of the optometrist is increasingly widespread and the training needs and professional retraining in new methodologies and technologies are already essential.
The Optometry is a scientific branch of wide clinic application that has seen a stunning growing in recent years, with the opening of new ways of research and clinic application, related to the new techniques of compensation and analyses of refractive errors. The optometrist has widened seen his clinic application field to the previous analysis and monitoring of the refractive surgery, the new types of compensation by means of contact lenses, the treatments of advanced visual therapy or the applications to the psycho-physical methodologies for the ophthalmologic diagnosis. In addition, we must add that the aging population opens a series of visual problems where the intervention of the optometrist will be fundamental, both in its treatment and primary attention.
With these Master’s studies a high training will be obtained for the professional specialisation in different areas of the optometry, such as the geriatric optometry, visual therapies or the optometric aspects of the refractive surgery, among others. The studies will prepare in addition for taking on research tasks both in the area of Vision Sciences and the applied clinic research. For this reason, the orientation is academic and mixed, both for training for specialized professional practice and for training for research. -
Master's Degree in Advanced Optometry and Vision SciencesRecommended admission profile
The student of the Master's Degree in Advanced Optometry and Vision Sciences must be a professional of the area of the Optometry sciences and Vision Sciences, interested in increasing their scientific and practical knowledge in a course of applied clinic vocation, but with a training that enables them, occasionally, to begin a research career.

Master's Degree in Remote Sensing
Remote sensing concerns the acquisition of data from radiation sensors installed in space platforms and their later treatment to obtain information about our environment. It is a discipline that is based in measurable magnitudes and verifiable hypotheses that requires a good capacity for analysis and synthesis and that offers to society direct results that improve our knowledge on the physical world. Within remote sensing we can encompass meteorological products, applications aimed to improve agricultural yields, mapping of the terrain, drought control and natural disasters, search for new mining sites, forest management, territory planning, and so on that has not even started as this is a young discipline.
The interest for society of scientific studies that are carried out from remote sensing data on the most diverse sides of our environment is easily justifiable given the great amount of operative applications that provide the scientific results that are obtained with it. Remote sensing supplies with thematic maps of our planet, characteristics and variables of interest related with water, soil, crops, and natural vegetation providing periodic and updated information, making easier the continuous tracing and in the long term and helping in decision making to managers in such fields. It provides a form of study in access areas and/or with minimum field support. Remote sensing is also applied to studies on outer space, contributing to a better understanding of the universe that surrounds us. -
Master's Degree in Remote SensingRecommended admission profile
The profile of the student of the Master's Degree in Remote Sensing matches with students that have completed their "Licenciatura" with a good basis on Physics and Mathematics.
