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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding a master's program in Europe that emphasizes modeling and simulation, particularly for a student from Ireland with a BSc in physics. Key recommendations include the Applied Physics master's program at TU Delft, which has a strong focus on quantum computing, and the Theoretical Physics master's at Utrecht University. Resources such as MastersPortal and FindAMasters are suggested for further exploration. Both universities are noted for their excellent physics programs, although potential applicants should verify enrollment procedures due to limited availability.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of modeling and simulation concepts in physics
  • Familiarity with master's degree structures in Europe
  • Knowledge of quantum computing fundamentals
  • Research skills to navigate academic program resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Applied Physics program at TU Delft for details on modeling tracks
  • Investigate the Theoretical Physics program at Utrecht University
  • Utilize MastersPortal and FindAMasters for comprehensive program searches
  • Research admission requirements and application processes for selected programs
USEFUL FOR

Prospective master's students in physics, academic advisors, and anyone interested in advanced modeling and simulation studies in Europe.

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.
