10 Best Physics in Netherlands for 2025

EULER, in cooperation with EUCLID, an intergovernmental treaty-based organization with a university mandate and the Palo Alto Institute of Science and Technology, offers to select students from the general public its flagship external (distance or online) degree program called the EUCLID Online Bachelor of Science in Fundamental and Applied Research. Above: EULER Prof Klemens Katterbauer, Program Supervisor It is the only online bachelor of science in this field of study organized in active cooperation with an intergovernmental institution whose programs are officially used by active diplomats and civil servants over 4 continents, many of whom have reached high governance levels (ambassador, minister). This program is a valuable first step towards graduate studies in research-related fields, including medicine, public health, and science education.

Many special processes take place in the world around us. Sometimes these are spectacular and obvious, such as lightning discharges and tornadoes. However, sometimes you need to be a little more attentive.

Master in Space Business Management is a Major of the Executive Master in Advanced Management. This part-time programme is a first-level Degree Programme accredited by the Italian Ministry as a “Master Universitario di I Livello” and provides students with at least 60 ECTS. The classes will be delivered alternately on campus and on-line, to adapt to working professionals’ agenda.

To prepare for an informed decision for a subsequent Ph.D. project in one of the Photonics groups, the student will, during the Master phase, acquire a broad view of the scope of the Research in Photonics at the COBRA Research Institute. Students obtain maximum influence on their Ph.D. project, which may include the writing of their research proposal.

The worldwide collaboration on the development of nuclear fusion as a safe, clean and inexhaustible energy source is now culminating in the construction of the large test reactor ITER. ITER is being built in Europe (in Cadarache, France) and will demonstrate 10-fold power multiplication at the 500 MW level.

Applied physicists have a different view of the world around us. Physical phenomena turn into challenges, fascinating questions to investigate and analyze. But as an applied physicist you go one step further, by applying your knowledge of these phenomena in new technological developments. In many cases, these are ambitious projects, in which working in teams with people from other disciplines is a central factor.

The Master of Science in Applied Nanotechnology is unique in the Netherlands. The most distinguishing feature is its focus on the development of innovative micro- and nanotechnology-based products and applications. The fusion of elements from biology, chemistry, electrical engineering and physics results in nanotechnological materials and devices with unprecedented properties. The programme only starts in September and is taught entirely in English.

Biomedical engineering is a relatively new discipline that is up-and-coming. Modern technology has become an inextricable part of medicine and healthcare. That means there is a growing need for both the technological and the healthcare side for people with a grasp of increasingly complex biomedical problems.

Leading experts train students in our Astronomy programme in cutting-edge astronomical research. We incorporate in our educational programme observations and data from the world’s foremost ground- and space-based telescopes as well as theoretical, computational and astrochemical modelling, large-scale simulations, and laboratory experiments that mimic conditions in space.
