<h2>MOTIVATION</h2>
<p>The master's degree in Engineering Physics is oriented towards frontier engineering based on advanced education in physics. Specialist engineering fields such as nanotechnology, nanoelectronics and biomedical engineering require an
ever-growing number of professionals who have extensive training in advanced physics and sound knowledge of quantum physics, complex system physics and device physics, which can be applied both at the nanoscopic scale and in large-scale
facilities.</p>
<p><a id="read-more-motivation">Read more</a></p>
<div id="more-motivation" style="display:none;">
<p><b>The master in Engineering Physics allows physicists and interested engineers to finish off their training profile in a large number of fields within modern physics and also broadening their scope</b><p>
<p>The common formation offers transverse subjects on physics and advanced engineering of wide applicability in both research and industrial development applications. Furthermore, the elective subjects allow the students to complete its academic profiles with subjects complementary to their degrees: New materials, Complex systems - with applications into Biophysics -, Numerical methods and a wide offer in elective subjects from the different branches of engineering taught in UPC. This way a physicist o physics engineer can obtain a more engineering-oriented profile while an engineer can deepen into more fundamental subjects.</p>

The image shows a spiraling columnar pattern of thermal convection of
a rotating fluid sphere at the onset of convection. The contours plots of
the kinetic energy on radial, equatorial and meridional sections, indicated
with dashed lines, show how the convective structures of a high azimuthal
wave number align with the axis of rotation and spiral in the sense of the
rotation" /></p>
