Calendar

The 90 ECTS itinerary of the master in High-Energy Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology lasts one and a half academic years, starting approximately in mid September and ending at the end of January two years later. The course is divided in three semesters, two fall semesters and one spring semester. This period includes both the courses and the master research project.

Students who come to the master with less than 210 ECTS and want to pursue a Ph.D. (for which 300 ECTS are required) will have a two-year itinerary with up to 120 ECTS tailored to their needs.
