Courses and programmes

We offer four different master’s programmes in physics. Each master's programme is two years long (120 credits) and consists of courses and a degree project (30, 45 or 60 credits). Each programme has mandatory, elective and optional courses, with the exception of the master’s programme in medical radiation physics where all courses are mandatory. You can read more about the programmes below.

Application and admission to Master's programmes

Freestanding courses given in English

Many of our courses are offered in English, and most of these are available as freestanding courses. Before applying for such a course, it is important to check the entry requirements. All these courses require knowledge in English equivalent to Swedish upper secondary school course English B/English 6, and most of them also require previous studies corresponding to 60 credits in physics (including quantum mechanics) and 45 credits in mathematics at university level. You can search for more information about the courses and their entry requirements at the bottom of the page.

How to meet the English language requirements.

Please note that not all courses are given every academic year. A small number of courses alternate with each other, so that a certain course is given every two years.

Doctoral Studies

Key aims of the doctoral education are that you both acquire a deeper subject knowledge but, above all, learn about scientific methodology. For example, you learn how to define problems and use analytical and experimental methods to find results which you then evaluate. During your doctoral studies, you are part of a research group in an environment with researchers and other doctoral students who encourage and help you.
