Objectives
The aim of this course is to provide an advanced knowledge of the theory of classical electromagnetism. At the end of this course the student will have acquired knowledge, skills and competencies in:
- Physical processes related to dynamic electromagnetic systems;
- Physical processes related to the propagation of electromagnetic waves in space;
- Physical processes related to the propagation of electromagnetic waves in matter.

Teaching method
The course is divided in lectures and problem solving sessions. The lectures will be held in two sessions each week, lasting 45 min and include four assessment tests.
The problem solving sessions will be delivered twice a week, lasting 45 min each. These sessions aim the discussions of the physical phenomena introduced in the lectures.
Evaluation method
2 tests of 1 hour
