Education

In addition to scientific research, our department also contributes to educating physics students in both Bachelor's and Master's programmes. The courses are either held at the Ghent University or within international education programmes.

Master thesis subjects

The Department of Solid State Sciences offers several master thesis subjects every year. Follow this link for a full list of all master thesis subjects.
