Upgrade your smartphone, design smart textiles, or optimize X-ray equipment. The Applied Physics program teaches you to understand and apply physics. Develop solutions and optimize processes in areas ranging from healthcare and sustainability to vehicles and sound safety.
Improve physical processes in solar cells or in radiological hospital equipment.
Theoretical education, project work, and lab experiments await you.
A small-scale program with personal attention and guidance.
Physics is incredibly versatile! You dive into topics like optics, mechanics, mathematics, thermodynamics, atomic and nuclear physics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics. You’ll learn about how the world works, from the tiniest particles to the largest galaxies.
A broad foundation in mathematics, physics, (measurement) technology, and programming.
In projects, you will learn the steps to take in conducting physical research.
The program is a balanced mix of theory and practice.
During your studies, you will apply theory in your practicals and projects. You’ll work both independently and with peers, receiving tailored guidance. Whether you are working on machine learning or building a quantum mechanical setup, your talents and growth will be emphasized.
With a degree in Applied Physics, your possibilities are endless. Do you want to work at TNO or DIFFER? Or at ASML, VDL, Canon, DAF, or Bosch? How about working in hospitals or consulting firms? Continuing your studies with a master's program is also an option. The choice is yours.

We are happy to help.
In Applied Physics, we not only focus on theory but also make physical solutions practically feasible. This is, for example, achieved by developing sensors, (automated) measurement systems, and accompanying computer programs. In this way, we create an essential bridge from theory to practice.
With a degree in Applied Physics, you have various career options. You can work as a Researcher in a company or laboratory, or develop and test technical solutions as a Product Developer. Another opportunity is to enhance and make industrial processes more sustainable as a Process Optimization Consultant.
Mathematics is the language of physics. Without strong mathematical skills, it’s challenging to grasp physical concepts fully. While essential, our program isn’t solely about math; we see it as a supportive tool. As a physicist, having mathematical skills are vital to your toolkit.
