It is important to be curious and not rush into specialization.

I followed most of the courses proposed in the SdM L3-M1 curriculum. I did my L3 internship in the Department of Physics at the University of Geneva, and my M1 internship in the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford. Both internships were focused on experimental laser physics. After the preparation to the agrégation, I oriented my studies (Master and thesis) towards Non-Equilibrium Statistical Physics, with applications in active matter and biophysics.
The SdM L3-M1 curriculum is very open, it allows you to discover various disciplines in Physics. I think that it is important to remain curious and to avoid specializing too quickly. It helps to develop a broad scientific culture, so as to be able to correctly assess the most interesting subjects to pursue in a thesis. For an academic career, the choice of PhD, both the subject of study, the laboratory, and the thesis director, largely determines the rest of the professional career.
