The Engineering Physics programme is a broad educational programme where you can specialise into a number of different fields of physics. The programme is designed to give you a largesubstantial freedom to createtailor your own competence profile within physics. T¶

Subsequently, there are only two mandatory courses forthat all students within the programme, and they have to take (and these courses are usunormally taken during year 2 of the programme. These courses are:).¶

AK2030 Theory and methodology of science (Natural and technological sciences), 4.5 credits¶

SH2007 Research methodology in physics, 3.0 credits (*)¶

(*) However, students planning to make exchange studies at another university during the autumn semester of year 2, are strongly recommended to take the course SH2007 already in year 1 since it is given only once a year and it is difficult to find a corresponding course at another university.

Within each track, you must takThe major part of your studies are within your chosen track and you need to choose a track already when you start your studies at the programme. Within each track, there are 2 mandatory track courses and you must also choose a minimum of 25 credits from a list of conditionally elective courses. This ensures that you will reach a sufficient depth in your studies to be eligible for a master thesis course within your track. The programme has 5 tracks, where and each track can lead to several specialisations. The tracks are:

Theoretical physics (TFYA)

Subatomic & astrophysics (TFYB)

Optical physics (TFYC)

Nanophysics (TFYD)

Biomedical physics (TFYE)

Although you must choose a track already when you start the programme, it is still possible to change tracks. In such a case, please contact the programme director for a discussion.
