The second year is organized around four different programs : Condensed Matter Physics, Soft Matter and biological physics, Quantum Physics and Theoretical Physics.
The first semester is dedicated to courses (30 ECTS). Each student enrolls in a program in which he/she follows compulsory and optional courses. In exceptional cases, the student can include in his/her program one optional course from another area of study, in agreement with his/her head of studies.
In second semester, four optional courses will be chosen from any program (4x3 ECTS). These optional courses must be approved by the head of the studies.
Students are expected to complete an internship relevant to their course of study (18 ECTS) April to june, in France or abroad.

Suggestions for course compositions depending on your interests
| Head of studies | Aleksandra WALCZAK et Emmanuelle RIO |
| Semester 1 | One compulsory courses (6 ECTS) : Advanced Statistical physics Four optional courses (4 x 6 ECTS) to be chosen from the list of S1courses. Timetable compatibility is guaranteed for: Advanced Biophysics Advanced Methods in biological physics and soft matter Computational and data-driven physics Interfaces and morphogenesis Physics of fluids and nonlinear physics Soft Matter Physics During the 1st semester, it will be possible to take 1-2 courses (among 4) from the M2 Nonlinear and out of equilibrium phenomena Nevertheless, before taking any course from a non -ICFP master program, the list of chose courses must be validated by Aleksandra WALCZAK and Emmanuelle RIO. |
| Semester 2 | Four courses (4 x 3 ECTS) to be chosen from the list of S2 courses. Recommanded courses : Active matter and collective behaviour Circuits and network dynamics in synthetic biology and neuroscience Ecology, evolution and epidemiology Numerical methods for fluid dynamics Physics of multicellular systems Transfers in complex fluids Soft or Slender: mechanics of Nature-inspired, highly deformable bodies Turbulence One Course (3 ECTS) could be chosen from all the program Master of Physics. It must be approved by the head of the studies. |
