The University of Bologna (Italy), the University of Clermont
Auvergne (France) and the Technical University Dortmund (Germany) are launching a
new Master program starting in the upcoming winter semester. The
International Master of Advanced Methods in Particle Physics (IMAPP) is a
joint degree program offered by the three universities and supported by
internationally renowned partner institutions including CERN, DESY,
KEK, MIT and NIKHEF. The main focus of the program is on experimental
and theoretical particle physics and in teaching scientific methods. The
program is based on three pillars, each of which is associated with one
of the three universities. These are machine learning and statistical
data analysis, instrumentation and detector physics as well as
large-scale scientific computing and programming. The language of the
courses is English. The students of one year study as a cohort, who
attend courses together at the University of Clermont Auvergne (1st
semester), TU Dortmund University (2nd semester) and the University of
Bologna (3rd semester) during the first three semesters. In the fourth
semester, the students will conduct research and write a Master thesis,
which can be carried out at one of the three universities or at one of
the associated partner institutions. The enrollment for this Master
degree program is now open.
