In addition to these courses there is an optional course which will be taught at Ecole Polytechnique: Quantum optics: lasers and atoms (3 ECTS).
Check the calendar.
Students can also perform a Self-directed work: library-based project, considered as a full course (6 ECTS), doing personal research and presenting a short seminar in january.
There is also the possibility to do a supervised research project, considered as a full course (6 ECTS).
One teaching unit = one full course (6 ECTS) or two half courses (2x3 ECTS) at will. At most 9 ECTS can be obtained by following courses not organized by the Masters program.
It is indeed possible to follow other lectures, in particular in some M2 of associated universities (Interface physique-biologie, Océanologie et météorologie, Géodynamique et physique de la terre, Mécanique), conditioned on the agreement of the faculties in charge of the Masters program and of the lecture followed.
Students must have chosen their five teaching units by the end of September, inquiries will be made via email by the people in charge. Individual meetings will be organized if necessary.
