Master's Programme in Physics - Nuclear and Particle Physics

About this programme

Do you want to understand nature at the fundamental level and explore the Universe’s most violent phenomena? Do you want to learn theoretical and experimental methods used by researchers in the field? Then the specialisation in Nuclear and Particle Physics, in the Master's Programme in Physics, suits you. The research is both theoretical and experimental, and the technology that makes the experiments possible is also used in other fields, such as engineering, finance, and medicine Expand the information below to show details on entry requirements, programme-specific documents, selection criteria and tuition fees. A Bachelor's degree, equivalent to a Swedish Kandidatexamen, from an internationally recognised university. Also required is 75 credits in physics. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6. This requirement can be met either by achieving the required score on an internationally recognised test, or by previous upper secondary or university studies in some countries. Students are selected based on an overall appraisal of previous university studies and a statement of purpose. Tuition fee-paying students and non-paying students are admitted on the same grounds but in different selection groups. Please ensure that you have enough physics courses to meet the formal requirements. For the specialisation in Nuclear and Particle Physics, courses in electromagnetism, thermodynamics/statistical physics and quantum mechanics/physics are recommended.
