How is Physics structured?
The master’s programme in Physics is studied over 2 years, and each academic year is divided into 2 semesters. There are opportunities for exchange stays and company projects during the course of study, and you will be able to specialise in areas such as Fundamental Physics, Computational Physics, Biophysics, Optics and Laser Physics, Physics and Space, or Quantum Science and Technology.
Below, you can see an overview of the programme structure. If you start the degree in February, the master’s programme follows a slightly different structure, with the first and second semesters reversed.
Choices and options
There is only one mandatory course in the master’s programme in Physics, which gives you great opportunities to shape your education through elective courses and project topics. You can also undertake a company project within a business or organisation to test your knowledge in practice.
Additionally, you have the option to go on an exchange programme and gain international experience.
In the 2nd year semester, you will complete your education with your master’s thesis.
