IT services for students at the Department of Physics
At the Department of Physics and Stockholm University, there are a number of different IT services for students. Here we have collected links to systems, tools and services that you need.
Find the schedule for your courses
The Department of Physics does not use Stockholm University's central schedule booking system TimeEdit. This means that you cannot find schedules for physics courses there. The schedule for our courses can instead be found on the respective course page. Find your course or programme at the bottom of this page. The schedule is published no later than one month before the start of the course. For courses that use the learning platform Athena, the schedule will also be available there. It is also in Athena that any schedule changes during the courses will be published.
The academic year's overview schedule can be found here: fysik.su.se/schema.
Find your way
Most of the courses at the Department of Physics are held on AlbaNova campus, which is located between Stockholm University's Frescati campus and the neighbouring university Royal Institute of Technology (KTH).
The courses in medical radiation physics are given at the Karolinska Hospital. Individual courses are also given at other departments or in the KTH campus area.
