The Advanced Matter & Energy Physics programme is powered by three major players in experimental physics research in Amsterdam: the Van der Waals-Zeeman Institute for Experimental Physics of the University of Amsterdam (UvA), the physics department of the VU University Amsterdam (VU) and the premier NWO/FOM institute AMOLF. Top researchers from all three institutions teach groundbreaking topics in each of the four study-paths, and challenging MSc projects at the forefront of ongoing and new research are on offer from all three partners.
