Entry requirements
To apply for the Master's programme in Physics, you need a relevant Bachelor's degree.
- Bachelor's degree in Physics from SDU – gives you a legal claim for admission
When you finish a Bachelor's degree in Physics from the University of Southern Denmark, you have a legal claim for admission to the Master's programme if you apply within three years after obtaining the Bachelor's degree.
You can also apply if you have one of the following degrees:
- Bachelor's degree in Nanobioscience from SDU
- Bachelor's degree in Physics from Aarhus University, Roskilde University, the University of Copenhagen or Aalborg University
Additionally, you can apply if you hold a similar degree and hold solid qualifications in:
- Introductory quantum mechanics
- Classical mechanics
- Electromagnetism and optics
- Thermodynamics
- Statistical mechanics
- Condensed matter physics
- Experimental physics
Once you apply, the study board will assess whether your degree is qualifying.
English language requirements
The programme is taught in English. If your Bachelor’s degree is not from SDU, you are required to submit proof of your proficiency in English. See the English language requirements.
Selection criteria
There is a limited number of study places in the programme.
If there are more qualified applicants than study places, applicants without a legal claim are selected based on an interview.
The interview will be based on the applicant’s subject knowledge and relevant experience.
As a bachelor's student at SDU, you can apply for permission to follow up to 30 ECTS Master's level courses even though you have yet to complete your Bachelor's degree.
You can be granted permission if you have the necessary academic qualifications. The progression of your Bachelor’s programme is crucial to the outcome of your application.
