Why choose Physics and Technology?
On the MSc in Engineering in Physics and Technology, you delve more deeply into the interaction between science and technology. You work with understanding and applying the physical principles behind the technologies of the future – from quantum mechanics and nanophysics to optics, sensors and machine learning. The programme takes place in an international environment, where you learn to turn advanced research into practical solutions that can be used in high-tech companies and research projects around the world.
Physics and Technology is for you if you…
- want to gain a deep understanding of physics and learn how to turn it into technological progress
- want to work with advanced and cutting-edge technology
- want study in an interdisciplinary academic environment with exciting opportunities
What will you learn?
On the master’s programme, you build on the knowledge you gained during your bachelor’s degree and work more independently and more closely with research. You learn to combine experimental and theoretical methods to develop and analyse new technologies, for example within optical systems, sensor technology, nanomaterials and data-driven solutions. You specialise in subjects such as quantum mechanics, advanced optics, materials and nanophysics, signal processing, electromagnetism, machine learning and programming.
You gain insight into how to design and manufacture nanostructures, simulate complex systems and apply the laws of physics to create technological advances. At the same time, you develop your ability to take part in interdisciplinary projects where physics, mathematics and engineering meet. Through project and research work, you learn to formulate your own research questions, design experiments and work with data analysis and modelling at a high level.
Teaching methods
The teaching alternates between theoretical classroom instruction, often together with the Physics students, and practical project work in groups.
Teaching is closely linked to SDU’s research environments, and you have the opportunity to collaborate with both researchers and companies.
Student/teacher testimonial
- Working in project groups prepares you for going into industry afterwards. When you are working with technologies as advanced as some of the ones we work with here, you will not be working with them on your own.
