FYSSYVSOV Advanced Studies in Physics, Physics Applications in Technology and Society (60+ cr)

A minimum of 60 cr of advanced courses is required. This includes 34 cr of compulsory courses. Optional studies include 26 cr of courses are recommended to be chosen in such a way that they constitute a specific application field. This can be for instance medical, radiation physics, electronics, material science, measurement and instrumentation or computational applications field. It is also possible to constitute an application field outside the previous list from the advanced courses. This, however, has to be discussed and agreed with the study counsellor. 

After completing the studies, students are able to

• Describe the theoretical foundations and experimental methods of a given subfield

• Use relevant modelling to describe natural phenomena

• Solve problems related to physical phenomena by using analytical, numerical or experimental methods

• Critically assess and use the research results and methods of a given subfield

• Master oral and written science communication skills

• Professionally act as an expert, researcher, and developer. 

Good competency in basic and intermediate study modules in physics and mathematics.
