Gli studenti provenienti da corsi di laurea di classi differenti potranno essere ammessi se dimostreranno di avere acquisito adeguate conoscenze e competenze nei settori scientifico disciplinari che caratterizzano la Laurea Magistrale in Fisica.
Specificatamente, per accedere alla Laurea Magistrale in Fisica è necessario che i laureati siano in possesso dei seguenti requisiti curriculari:
- 25 CFU nelle discipline matematiche e informatiche (SSD: MAT/xx, INF/01 e ING-INF/05);
- 45 CFU nelle discipline fisiche (SSD FIS/xx).
È inoltre richiesta una conoscenza della lingua Inglese di livello almeno B1.
L'adeguata preparazione personale dei laureati in possesso dei requisiti di titolo di accesso e curriculari di cui sopra viene accertata sulla base di un esame del curriculum pregresso e di un eventuale colloquio orale.
Il Regolamento Didattico del corso di Laurea Magistrale in Fisica determina nel dettaglio le competenze necessarie per l'accesso e le modalità per verificarne l'acquisizione.Prova finale
La prova finale del Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Fisica consiste nella stesura di una tesi (in italiano o in inglese) elaborata in modo originale dallo studente con l'assistenza di almeno un docente (relatore), eventualmente esterno al corso di studi.
Nel caso in cui il relatore non faccia parte del personale del Dipartimento o degli Enti di ricerca che vi collaborano, può essere nominato anche un relatore interno, scelto tra i docenti del Dipartimento.
La prova finale, a cui sono assegnati 30 CFU, consiste nell'esposizione di fronte alla commissione di laurea dei risultati conseguiti dal candidato nel lavoro di tesi.
Il lavoro di tesi e' preceduto da un tirocinio/stage, a cui sono assegnati 6 CFU, finalizzato all'acquisizione delle competenze specifiche sulle più recenti tecniche sia sperimentali sia di calcolo elettronico e sia di analisi teorica utilizzate nei laboratori di ricerca, interni oppure esterni all'università, nei quali gli studenti svolgono la tesi.
Il presidente della Commissione di Laurea nomina un contro-relatore con il compito di verificare con congruo anticipo i dettagli del lavoro di tesi.
La discussione della tesi avviene in seduta pubblica davanti ad una commissione di docenti nominata dalla Commissione Didattica.
Al termine della seduta si giunge alla valutazione complessiva, il voto di Laurea, che tiene conto dello svolgimento e originalita' del lavoro di tesi, della discussione della tesi e della carriera scolastica del candidato nel biennio.Orientamento in ingresso
Le attività di orientamento, tirocinio, stage e placement, a livello di Ateneo, sono promosse e coordinate dal Gruppo di Lavoro per l'Orientamento di Ateneo (GLOA) costituito dal Delegato del Rettore per le politiche di orientamento, con ruolo di coordinatore, da due delegati dei Direttori per ciascun Dipartimento, un Delegato dei Presidenti per le due Scuole e dalla Responsabile della Divisione Politiche per gli Studenti.
Il GLOA promuove azioni relative all'orientamento in ingresso, all'orientamento in itinere (tutorato, tirocini e stage) e all'orientamento in uscita (politiche attive per il lavoro e placement) la cui organizzazione e realizzazione è affidata, rispettivamente, all'Ufficio orientamento, all'Ufficio stage e tirocini e all'Ufficio job placement.
Le azioni di orientamento in ingresso sono improntate alla realizzazione di processi di raccordo con la scuola secondaria di secondo grado.
Si concretizzano in attività di carattere informativo sui Corsi di Studio (CdS) dell'Ateneo, molte delle quali svolte in collaborazione con la Scuola, e volte a favorire lo sviluppo di una maggiore consapevolezza da parte degli studenti nel compiere scelte coerenti con le proprie conoscenze, competenze, attitudini e interessi.
Le attività promosse si articolano in:
a) seminari e attività formative realizzate in collaborazione con i docenti delle scuole secondarie di secondo grado;
b) incontri e manifestazioni informative rivolte alle future matricole;
c) sviluppo di servizi on line per l'orientamento e l'auto-orientamento.
Tra le attività svolte in collaborazione con le scuole per lo sviluppo di una maggiore consapevolezza nella scelta, il "progetto di auto-orientamento" è un intervento che consente di promuovere un raccordo particolarmente qualificato con alcune scuole secondarie di secondo grado che insistono sul territorio limitrofo a Roma Tre.
Il progetto, infatti, è articolato in incontri svolti presso le scuole dagli esperti dell'Ufficio Orientamento con la collaborazione di studenti seniores ed è finalizzato a sollecitare nelle future matricole una riflessione sui propri punti di forza e sui criteri di scelta (gli incontri si svolgono nel periodo ottobre-dicembre).
La presentazione dell'offerta formativa agli studenti delle scuole secondarie di secondo grado prevede tre eventi principali, distribuiti nel corso dell'anno accademico, ai quali partecipano tutti i CdS
- Salone dello studente "Campus orienta"
si svolge fra ottobre e novembre e coinvolge tradizionalmente tutti gli Atenei del Lazio e molti Atenei fuori Regione, Enti pubblici e privati che si occupano di Formazione e Lavoro.
Roma Tre partecipa a questo evento con propri spazi espositivi (tra i quali uno dedicato ai Corsi di Studio scientifici, chiamato 1, 2, 3,… Scienze) e con conferenze di presentazione dell'offerta formativa dell'Ateneo.
- Le Giornate di Vita Universitaria (GVU)
si svolgono ogni anno da gennaio a marzo e sono rivolte agli studenti degli ultimi due anni della scuola secondaria di secondo grado.
Si svolgono in tutti i Dipartimenti dell'Ateneo e costituiscono una importante occasione per le future matricole per vivere la realtà universitaria.
Gli incontri sono strutturati in modo tale che accanto alla presentazione dei CdS, gli studenti possano anche fare un'esperienza diretta di vita universitaria con la partecipazione ad attività didattiche, laboratori, lezioni o seminari, alle quali partecipano anche studenti seniores che svolgono una significativa mediazione di tipo tutoriale.
Partecipano annualmente oltre 6.000 studenti delle secondarie.
- Orientarsi a Roma Tre
rappresenta la manifestazione che chiude le annuali attività di orientamento in ingresso e si svolge in Ateneo a luglio di ogni anno.
L'evento accoglie mediamente circa 3.000 studenti romani e non solo, che partecipano per mettere definitivamente a fuoco la loro scelta universitaria.
Oltre all'offerta formativa sono presentati tutti i principali servizi di Roma Tre rivolti agli studenti e le segreterie didattiche sono a disposizione per tutte le informazioni relative alle pratiche di immatricolazione.
In tutte le manifestazioni di presentazione dell'offerta formativa, sono illustrati anche i vari servizi on line che possono aiutare gli studenti nella scelta: dai siti web dei Dipartimenti al sito del POS (Prove di Orientamento Simulate) che consente alle future matricole di autovalutarsi rispetto ai requisiti di accesso per tutti i CdS di Roma Tre.
Infine, in tutte le manifestazioni che si svolgono in Ateneo sono somministrati ai partecipanti questionari di soddisfazione che vengono elaborati ed utilizzati per proporre miglioramenti all'organizzazione degli eventi.
Il Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica attribuisce una particolare importanza a tutte le attività volte a fornire informazioni necessarie per orientare gli studenti nella scelta del corso di studio in linea con le politiche dell'Ateneo.
Infatti partecipa a tutte le principali iniziative d'Ateneo dedicate all'orientamento:
- ll Salone dello Studente, in cui viene allestito lo stand con esperimenti e presentazioni 1, 2, 3… Scienze;
- la Giornata di Vita Universitaria;
- la Giornata "Orientarsi a Roma Tre".
Per la realizzazione dei propri progetti di orientamento, il Dipartimento aderisce inoltre al Piano Nazionale Lauree Scientifiche promosso dal MIUR, dalla Conferenza Nazionale dei Presidenti e dei direttori delle strutture Universitarie di Scienze (Con.Scienze) e dalla Confindustria, offrendo alle scuole partner laboratori di matematica e di fisica.
Inoltre promuove iniziative di divulgazione e comunicazione scientifica rivolte sia alle scuole (studenti ed insegnanti) sia a tutti i cittadini, e corsi di formazione ed aggiornamento per insegnanti.
Particolare rilievo assumono le seguenti attività:
- Masterclass in Astrofisica, Fisica delle Particelle, Fisica Terrestre e dell'Ambiente, Ottica e Fisica della Materia che offrono la possibilità di trascorrere una giornata da ricercatore ad alcune centinaia di studenti fra i più motivati degli ultimi due anni della Scuola Secondaria.
- Gare di Matematica: la selezione provinciale delle Olimpiadi di Matematica, con circa 500 partecipanti studenti delle scuole superiori di tutta la provincia di Roma, e il concorso "Immatricolazione gratuita a Roma Tre", con più di 400 partecipanti studenti dell'ultimo anno della scuola secondaria.
- Alternanza Scuola/Lavoro: accoglienza, presso i laboratori del Dipartimento, di studenti del terzo, quarto e quinto anno delle Scuole Secondarie di secondo grado per la realizzazione di specifici progetti formativi concordati con i docenti referenti delle stesse.
- La Fisica incontra la Città: seminari serali aperti al pubblico in cui vengono trattate le principali tematiche e scoperte della Fisica Moderna.
- "Notte dei Ricercatori" e "Occhi su ......": serate aperte al pubblico (alcune migliaia di presenze in totale) in cui studenti e ricercatori diffondono conoscenze ed esperienze attraverso esperimenti, laboratori, dimostrazioni scientifiche, spettacoli, conferenze e seminari divulgativi
Per la diffusione e la consultazione di questi eventi il Dipartimento dedica sulla propria home page del sito una sezione ad hoc: "Per la città e la scuola" (http://dmf.matfis.uniroma3.it/eventi/outreach.php).
Per ciascun Corso di Laurea e di Laurea Magistrale sono predisposte Guide Informative e Opuscoli che vengono distribuiti in occasione degli eventi dedicati all'orientamento e in fase di iscrizione ai corsi stessi.

PHYSICS OF THE IONOSPHERE AND PHYSICS OF THE MAGNETOSPHERE
(objectives)
Electromagnetic and corpuscular radiation of solar origin gives rise to complex interactions affecting the magnetosphere and the Earth's ionosphere. The magnetic fields of the Sun and the Earth play a fundamental role in these interactions, in a space characterized by the presence of partially ionized plasma (weakly ionized gas): here the physics of the propagation of radio waves is very interesting.
The aim of the course is to present a selection of the most relevant physical phenomena that unfold in this complex environment, where man deploys sophisticated technological systems, on whose functioning the structures of contemporary society are increasingly dependent. Space Weather deals with problems resulting from disturbances in the circumterrestrial environment, in particular consequent to the deterioration of the radiopropagative conditions of the ionosphere.
The ultimate goal is to bring the student closer to the physics of phenomena, stimulating his interest in research in the sector and projecting him towards contemporary challenges to be met.

STATISTICAL MECHANICS
(objectives)
The course aims to give an overview of modern developments in statistical mechanics. In particular, starting from the theory of phase transitions and critical phenomena, we want to show how the concepts underlying the method of the re-normalization group emerged. This method is now widely used in various fields of statistical mechanics. The critical phenomena constitute the classical application of the method, which is illustrated in detail in the first 6 credits of the course. These first 6 credits can therefore be used by multiple addresses. The remaining 2 credits focus on more recent applications of the method in the field of matter physics.

PHYSICS OF THE IONOSPHERE AND PHYSICS OF THE MAGNETOSPHERE
(objectives)
Electromagnetic and corpuscular radiation of solar origin gives rise to complex interactions affecting the magnetosphere and the Earth's ionosphere. The magnetic fields of the Sun and the Earth play a fundamental role in these interactions, in a space characterized by the presence of partially ionized plasma (weakly ionized gas): here the physics of the propagation of radio waves is very interesting.
The aim of the course is to present a selection of the most relevant physical phenomena that unfold in this complex environment, where man deploys sophisticated technological systems, on whose functioning the structures of contemporary society are increasingly dependent. Space Weather deals with problems resulting from disturbances in the circumterrestrial environment, in particular consequent to the deterioration of the radiopropagative conditions of the ionosphere.
The ultimate goal is to bring the student closer to the physics of phenomena, stimulating his interest in research in the sector and projecting him towards contemporary challenges to be met.

STATISTICAL MECHANICS
(objectives)
The course aims to give an overview of modern developments in statistical mechanics. In particular, starting from the theory of phase transitions and critical phenomena, we want to show how the concepts underlying the method of the re-normalization group emerged. This method is now widely used in various fields of statistical mechanics. The critical phenomena constitute the classical application of the method, which is illustrated in detail in the first 6 credits of the course. These first 6 credits can therefore be used by multiple addresses. The remaining 2 credits focus on more recent applications of the method in the field of matter physics.

PHYSICS OF THE IONOSPHERE AND PHYSICS OF THE MAGNETOSPHERE
(objectives)
Electromagnetic and corpuscular radiation of solar origin gives rise to complex interactions affecting the magnetosphere and the Earth's ionosphere. The magnetic fields of the Sun and the Earth play a fundamental role in these interactions, in a space characterized by the presence of partially ionized plasma (weakly ionized gas): here the physics of the propagation of radio waves is very interesting.
The aim of the course is to present a selection of the most relevant physical phenomena that unfold in this complex environment, where man deploys sophisticated technological systems, on whose functioning the structures of contemporary society are increasingly dependent. Space Weather deals with problems resulting from disturbances in the circumterrestrial environment, in particular consequent to the deterioration of the radiopropagative conditions of the ionosphere.
The ultimate goal is to bring the student closer to the physics of phenomena, stimulating his interest in research in the sector and projecting him towards contemporary challenges to be met.

Physics of Liquids
(objectives)
To offer an introduction to the modern physics of liquids, understood as the study of the phenomenology of fluids starting from interatomic force laws. We will study the theoretical methods based on integral equations that allow us to describe the structure of the liquid. Computer numerical simulation methods applied to the physics of liquids will be introduced. Then we will study the correlation functions and the theory of linear response with applications to the study of the dynamics of liquids in the hydrodynamic limit and in the visco-elastic limit. The memory functions will be introduced. The physics of supercooled liquids and the study of the glass transition will be discussed

STATISTICAL MECHANICS
(objectives)
The course aims to give an overview of modern developments in statistical mechanics. In particular, starting from the theory of phase transitions and critical phenomena, we want to show how the concepts underlying the method of the re-normalization group emerged. This method is now widely used in various fields of statistical mechanics. The critical phenomena constitute the classical application of the method, which is illustrated in detail in the first 6 credits of the course. These first 6 credits can therefore be used by multiple addresses. The remaining 2 credits focus on more recent applications of the method in the field of matter physics.

STATISTICAL MECHANICS
(objectives)
The course aims to give an overview of modern developments in statistical mechanics. In particular, starting from the theory of phase transitions and critical phenomena, we want to show how the concepts underlying the method of the re-normalization group emerged. This method is now widely used in various fields of statistical mechanics. The critical phenomena constitute the classical application of the method, which is illustrated in detail in the first 6 credits of the course. These first 6 credits can therefore be used by multiple addresses. The remaining 2 credits focus on more recent applications of the method in the field of matter physics.

PHYSICS OF THE IONOSPHERE AND PHYSICS OF THE MAGNETOSPHERE
(objectives)
Electromagnetic and corpuscular radiation of solar origin gives rise to complex interactions affecting the magnetosphere and the Earth's ionosphere. The magnetic fields of the Sun and the Earth play a fundamental role in these interactions, in a space characterized by the presence of partially ionized plasma (weakly ionized gas): here the physics of the propagation of radio waves is very interesting.
The aim of the course is to present a selection of the most relevant physical phenomena that unfold in this complex environment, where man deploys sophisticated technological systems, on whose functioning the structures of contemporary society are increasingly dependent. Space Weather deals with problems resulting from disturbances in the circumterrestrial environment, in particular consequent to the deterioration of the radiopropagative conditions of the ionosphere.
The ultimate goal is to bring the student closer to the physics of phenomena, stimulating his interest in research in the sector and projecting him towards contemporary challenges to be met.

STATISTICAL MECHANICS
(objectives)
The course aims to give an overview of modern developments in statistical mechanics. In particular, starting from the theory of phase transitions and critical phenomena, we want to show how the concepts underlying the method of the re-normalization group emerged. This method is now widely used in various fields of statistical mechanics. The critical phenomena constitute the classical application of the method, which is illustrated in detail in the first 6 credits of the course. These first 6 credits can therefore be used by multiple addresses. The remaining 2 credits focus on more recent applications of the method in the field of matter physics.

PHYSICS OF THE IONOSPHERE AND PHYSICS OF THE MAGNETOSPHERE
(objectives)
Electromagnetic and corpuscular radiation of solar origin gives rise to complex interactions affecting the magnetosphere and the Earth's ionosphere. The magnetic fields of the Sun and the Earth play a fundamental role in these interactions, in a space characterized by the presence of partially ionized plasma (weakly ionized gas): here the physics of the propagation of radio waves is very interesting.
The aim of the course is to present a selection of the most relevant physical phenomena that unfold in this complex environment, where man deploys sophisticated technological systems, on whose functioning the structures of contemporary society are increasingly dependent. Space Weather deals with problems resulting from disturbances in the circumterrestrial environment, in particular consequent to the deterioration of the radiopropagative conditions of the ionosphere.
The ultimate goal is to bring the student closer to the physics of phenomena, stimulating his interest in research in the sector and projecting him towards contemporary challenges to be met.

STATISTICAL MECHANICS
(objectives)
The course aims to give an overview of modern developments in statistical mechanics. In particular, starting from the theory of phase transitions and critical phenomena, we want to show how the concepts underlying the method of the re-normalization group emerged. This method is now widely used in various fields of statistical mechanics. The critical phenomena constitute the classical application of the method, which is illustrated in detail in the first 6 credits of the course. These first 6 credits can therefore be used by multiple addresses. The remaining 2 credits focus on more recent applications of the method in the field of matter physics.

PHYSICS OF THE IONOSPHERE AND PHYSICS OF THE MAGNETOSPHERE
(objectives)
Electromagnetic and corpuscular radiation of solar origin gives rise to complex interactions affecting the magnetosphere and the Earth's ionosphere. The magnetic fields of the Sun and the Earth play a fundamental role in these interactions, in a space characterized by the presence of partially ionized plasma (weakly ionized gas): here the physics of the propagation of radio waves is very interesting.
The aim of the course is to present a selection of the most relevant physical phenomena that unfold in this complex environment, where man deploys sophisticated technological systems, on whose functioning the structures of contemporary society are increasingly dependent. Space Weather deals with problems resulting from disturbances in the circumterrestrial environment, in particular consequent to the deterioration of the radiopropagative conditions of the ionosphere.
The ultimate goal is to bring the student closer to the physics of phenomena, stimulating his interest in research in the sector and projecting him towards contemporary challenges to be met.

PHYSICS OF THE IONOSPHERE AND PHYSICS OF THE MAGNETOSPHERE
(objectives)
Electromagnetic and corpuscular radiation of solar origin gives rise to complex interactions affecting the magnetosphere and the Earth's ionosphere. The magnetic fields of the Sun and the Earth play a fundamental role in these interactions, in a space characterized by the presence of partially ionized plasma (weakly ionized gas): here the physics of the propagation of radio waves is very interesting.
The aim of the course is to present a selection of the most relevant physical phenomena that unfold in this complex environment, where man deploys sophisticated technological systems, on whose functioning the structures of contemporary society are increasingly dependent. Space Weather deals with problems resulting from disturbances in the circumterrestrial environment, in particular consequent to the deterioration of the radiopropagative conditions of the ionosphere.
The ultimate goal is to bring the student closer to the physics of phenomena, stimulating his interest in research in the sector and projecting him towards contemporary challenges to be met.

STATISTICAL MECHANICS
(objectives)
The course aims to give an overview of modern developments in statistical mechanics. In particular, starting from the theory of phase transitions and critical phenomena, we want to show how the concepts underlying the method of the re-normalization group emerged. This method is now widely used in various fields of statistical mechanics. The critical phenomena constitute the classical application of the method, which is illustrated in detail in the first 6 credits of the course. These first 6 credits can therefore be used by multiple addresses. The remaining 2 credits focus on more recent applications of the method in the field of matter physics.
