Programs Need help finding master's program (Europe) with modeling aspects

Click For Summary
A student from Ireland is seeking a master's program in Europe that emphasizes modeling and simulation, considering both theoretical and applied physics tracks. They have identified TU Delft's applied physics and Utrecht University's theoretical physics programs but are uncertain about their focus on modeling. Professors have suggested that Germany and the Netherlands host many reputable universities, but specific recommendations for strong modeling courses were lacking. Resources like MastersPortal and FindAMasters were recommended for further research. Both TU Delft and Utrecht University offer solid physics programs, with TU Delft having a notable focus on quantum computing and modeling research.

Hello, I am a student from Ireland in the final year of a BSc in physics and am looking around for a master's to apply for. I would really like a master's degree that has a strong focus/track on modeling and simulation.
I was unsure whether it would be better to apply to a more theoretical based physics master's or a more applied based course. Some of the master's programs that I have looked at so far include applied physics at TU Delft and theoretical physics at Utrecht University, but I am unsure yet where I should go. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Any guidance from professors in your current university?

Most professors I asked told me that there are a lot of good universities in Germany and the Netherlands but I didn't get any clear answer on strong modeling courses which is why I decided to try here
 
Both Delft and Utrecht have very good physics programs. Modelling is a pretty broad concept. I studied turbulence modelling. You might be interested in quantum computing.
I did my PhD at the applied physics group in Delft and I really liked the university and the city. They currently have a very strong group doing research on quantum computing, if that is your interest. The different tracks that you can follow are mentioned here:

Utrecht has something similar:

They might have limited availability though, so maybe check out if you can simply enroll or if you have to jump through hoops and are then randomly selected from the best hoop-jumpers.

Hello everyone :) I’m currently a third-year undergraduate student in Electrical Engineering at a college (not a highly ranked one). Since my first year, I’ve known that I want to continue to a master’s degree—only at a university—and my long-term goal is to work in research and development in the space industry. My first preference is pursuing an M.Sc. in Physics. I truly enjoy physics, constantly try to expand my knowledge, and the main reason I even chose Electrical Engineering was...
