Master's Degree Programme in Physics

Master's studies include physics studies both in the field of one's own orientation and outside it. In addition to the content, the studies strengthen the methodological knowledge of physics and expand the general knowledge of physics, according to one's own choices. The studies include language and communication studies as well as optional minor subjects, depending on the orientation. In addition to the thesis, the second half of the studies provides oppostunities to reflect on physicists' skill sets and employment opportunities. 

A student with a master's degree in physics is familiar with the basic theories of nuclear physics, particle physics, or solid-state physics. The student has a thorough knowledge of the topics, methods, and research questions within one's area of specialization. The student also knows their responsibility to work ethically and responsibly, and their duty to participate in building a sustainable future. In addition, the student
