International Master on Advanced methods in Particle Physics

Mobility Scheme

The International Master of Advanced Methods in Particle Physics (IMAPP) is a joint degree program (120 ECTS) between Clermont Auvergne University (UCA), TU Dortmund University (TUDO) and the University of Bologna (UNIBO). 

By studying at three universities at the core of Europe, IMAPP offers a unique mobility experience. 
In the first three semesters, the students will attend lectures and lab courses (approx. 30 ECTS per semester) while the final semester is dedicated to the preparation of the research thesis and the final exam (30 ECTS).
